Economy Team Product Designer

Responsibilities

• Pair & collaborate with your Economy design lead, product managers, and engineers to shape intuitive, delightful UX across our economy platform, focused on monetization features.
• Design flows, interactions, and screens that support user and creator needs while scaling across desktop, VR, web, and mobile. Our team uses Figma & Miro.
• Balance structure with flexibility: contribute to pattern design, but stay agile when product constraints or community needs require creative solutions.
• Turn fuzzy problem spaces into tangible product design and validate your work with team feedback, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing.
• Pair with our Design Systems lead to contribute cohesive, reusable design patterns to our component libraries.
• Stay close to user needs & behaviors, product needs, and social dynamics, especially as we scale monetization opportunities in VRChat.

Experience, Skills & Qualifications

• You have 2+ years of product design experience and have shipped real products that balance user needs with business goals.
• You’re curious about virtual economies and excited by the challenge of designing systems that involve trade, value exchange, and community participation.
• You design with structure and clarity. You know when to introduce consistency, when to diverge, and how to communicate your rationale.
• You’re comfortable working in Figma and collaborating closely with cross-functional partners throughout the product lifecycle.
• You enjoy navigating ambiguity and take ownership of your work from initial concept to polish and production.
• You’re collaborative by nature. You ask questions, seek feedback early, and enjoy pairing with other design partners who can guide your work.
• You value impact over ego, and you're someone teammates genuinely enjoy working with.

Bonus Points

• Experience with marketplaces, virtual goods, in-app purchasing, or digital currencies.
• Familiarity with avatar platforms, 3D content, or virtual reality.
• Comfort designing across multiple input modes (mouse, touch, VR controllers).
• Experience working on or adjacent to live-service games, social platforms, or user-generated content tools.
