Remote Product Designer for Creators - Join VRChat's Innovative Team

$90K–$120K/year

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.

VRChat is an equal-opportunity employer, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. We foster a diverse, creative, and collaborative environment where anyone can contribute to any of the ongoing projects or direction of the roadmap at any time. If you’re a passionate team player who wants to have an impact on a dynamic team, we’d love to hear from you!
