Our Values

The Game Band is dedicated to making games that reflect the diverse world we live in, which means fostering an environment and community that reflects our world too. We hold ourselves to a high standard when it comes to ensuring our company is an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming place to work.

‍

The Role

The Game Band is seeking a Product Designer to design interfaces for an absurdist, browser-based, fantasy baseball experience: Blaseball. Using the principles of UX and the tools of UI design, you will work with the design and development teams to distill game mechanics into beautiful, usable, and compelling interfaces.

‍

As a product designer you will:

• Work with the game design team to shape gameplay ideas into their final rendered form
• Work within an art-directed design system, creating a consistent aesthetic across the surface area of the game
• Iterate on features via mock-ups and prototypes in a tight feedback loop with team members and stakeholders
• Work with the development team to adapt your designs for implementation, and support them in refining existing live features

‍

What success looks like:

• You take ownership over the visual quality and consistency of the game
• You proactively work with game designers to understand the intent of their ideas so you can render them accurately (and ideally participate in evolving the feature itself!)
• You can cycle between a variety of processes and tools depending on the nature of a project, making judgement calls about the most effective approach to distilling a given problem
• You’re confident working independently as an advocate for the user experience, and communicating those principles to other stakeholders

‍

Requirements:

• Strong grounding in the fundamentals of layout, typography, and color
