Principal Designer (Ui/Ux, Product Design, Ui Systems) (New Canada)

– Equity Partner – Location: Remote • Jurisdiction: Global • Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week • Department: TechCore – Product Design Team • Reports To: Chief Design Officer (CDO)

Overview

We’re recruiting Principal Product Designers (up to 5 seats) to lead architecture and execution of core product UI/UX systems across a range of interfaces: runtime tools, GAT‑X interfaces, cross‑platform creative systems, creator dashboards, AI integration flows, and interactive templates and lore‑bound UI modules. Your interface systems will power user tools and become the visible structure of the Infinite Verse’s creator economy. You’ll work directly with engineering, UX research, product, and C‑level leadership. This is the blueprint‑and‑build layer of AU’s product future.

What You’ll Own

• Architect interface systems for player, creator, and internal‑facing tools
• Prototype flows in Figma, Framer, or code‑linked tools
• Build and evolve design systems, token sets, and components with developer alignment
• Lead execution on high‑impact UI/UX projects from zero to launch
• Define interaction logic, feedback flows, animation states, and motion paths
• Translate narrative, IP, and functional architecture into interface logic
• Mentor senior/staff designers and collaborate asynchronously with design program managers
• Drive design performance in product squads, sprints, and spec reviews

What We’re Looking For

• 7–10+ years in product or UX design with direct experience at system level
• Experience designing complex, multi‑surface tools or platforms (web/app/desktop/game/editor)
• Mastery of Figma, tokens, design systems, and atomic component architecture
• Ability to think in flows, hierarchies, edge cases, and transitions
• Can prototype independently—Framer, Protopie, Spline, or Unity UI a plus
• Fluent in async feedback, team writing, and transparent visual reasoning
• Bonus: experience designing tools for creators, animators, game engines, or simulation interfaces
• Sharp visual taste aligned with anime/futurist digital aesthetics

Minimum Requirement

You must command end‑to‑end mastery of both UI and UX—at the strategic, system, and brand levels. We need a ground‑up creator of design systems who can reason, scale, and synthesize across:

1. Web+mobile apps
2. Creative tools and runtime editors
3. Social, marketplace, and modular platform layers
4. Game and XR interfaces

You don’t have to be the supreme expert in all of them, but you must deeply “get it” in at least one domain you love—and design interfaces that make people feel good (joy, flow, delight), not just “usable” screens.

Proof‑of‑Life Portfolio

Bring a portfolio or site that shows how you think: system blueprints (tokens, grids, motion rules), problem–solution flow (research→rationale→shipped), outcome metrics (NPS, retention, engagement). Make it impossible to doubt your depth. Clearly demonstrate your level of skills, depth of understanding, and expertise. Something that shows how you come up with your ideas, solve problems, design, and show us what you can do.

Compensation

• Equity (Shares): Principal‑level partner equity
• Token‑Based Rewards: Future unlock (subject to legal compliance)
• Future Salary: Activates with product revenue and milestone thresholds
• Remote First: Fully async, creative velocity‑driven culture

Our Promise

You won’t just shape features—you’ll help shape the interface philosophy that users remember, feel, and follow. This is systems UI work at the edge of IP, narrative, and real‑time creative utility. If you’ve been waiting for the right team to go all‑in—this is your moment.
