Remote Product Designer for Creators - Join VRChat's Innovative Team
About the Role
Join the VRChat team as a Remote Product Designer focused on empowering creators! We’re building the future of immersive, user-generated worlds, where anyone, anywhere, can connect, play, explore, and express themselves. As a Remote Product Designer, you will help define new content types for props in VRChat and partner closely with a design lead and cross-functional stakeholders to design the workflows, interfaces, and underlying systems that help us build, iterate, and ship high-quality props at scale.
What You'll Do
- Partner with your design lead, PMs, and engineers to design and improve props and content creation, including upload, management, publishing, and monetization.
- Design intuitive interfaces that support creators with varying levels of technical expertise, from hobbyists to professional developers.
- Translate technical concepts into approachable UX through thoughtful flows, clear visual hierarchy, and user-friendly microcopy.
- Collaborate with community and support teams to understand creator pain points and use those insights to improve tool usability and reduce friction.
- Create wireframes, prototypes, and polished mockups across platforms (Desktop, VR, Mobile, Web).
- Run lightweight usability testing (concept checks, prototype tests) to validate designs early, identify friction, and iterate quickly.
Requirements
- You have 3+ years of professional product design experience and have worked on shipping experiences, ideally for tools, platforms, or workflow-heavy products.
- You have strong UX instincts and know how to simplify complexity without sacrificing capability or clarity.
- You’re comfortable working in Figma and collaborating with engineering to bring your designs to life.
- You think in flows and systems, understanding how tools fit into broader user lifecycles and full product ecosystems.
- You’re familiar with Unity, our SDKs, Blender, or other dev tools.
- You’re a proactive collaborator who listens well, gives clear feedback, and is energized by working closely with other teammates.
Nice to Have
- Understanding of trust, safety, or moderation systems that support healthy online interactions.
- Familiarity with social VR, presence-based UX, or designing for avatar-based expression.
- Experience working on cross-platform design (desktop, mobile, VR headsets).
- Passion for online communities, emergent social behavior, or the sociology of digital spaces.
What We Offer
- Work from anywhere! VRChat is a 100% remote company offering flexible working hours in combination with core hours supporting real-time collaboration.
- Health benefits for U.S. and Canadian employees.
- 401K (U.S.) and RRSP (Canada) retirement plans.
- Stock options.
- Unlimited/flexible vacation policy.
- Paid parental leave.
- Generous holiday schedule.
