Principal Designer (UI/UX, Product Design, UI Systems) (La Pocatière)

Equity Partner –

Location: Remote

Jurisdiction: Global

Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week

Department: TechCore – Product Design Team

Reports To: Chief Design Officer (CDO)

This is not a job, it's a stake.

What You Put In Is What You Get Out

This isn’t a feature design role. This is system-level product design—architecture, vision, and multi-surface execution.

As a Principal Product Designer, you’ll craft the UI/UX foundation for interfaces across creative tools, runtime editors, ghost systems, dashboards, and deep-layer player interaction. You’ll lead design at the blueprint level—while still building directly with velocity and taste.

Minimum commitment: 20 hours/week. This role requires presence, precision, and proactive motion.

This is an equity partner role. That means:

• No upfront cash compensation
• Equity (shares) at principal creative contributor level (vesting standard)
• Future token-based rewards (pending legal clearance)
• Salary activates on revenue-based benchmarks
• Remote‑first, async-native, and deeply autonomous

Let’s Be Absolutely Explicit

This is not a pixel-pusher role.

This is a system builder, prototyper, and design thinker with elite creative fluency.

You are expected to bring structure, speed, and sharpness to the most critical UI problems in the stack—partnering directly with engineering, product, and narrative to manifest interface layers that live across devices and dimensions.

If you thrive at the convergence of aesthetic precision, usability, and systems logic—this is your command post.

Overview

We’re recruiting Principal Product Designers (up to 5 seats) to lead architecture and execution of core product UI/UX systems—across:

• new interface system
• Runtime tools
• GAT-X interfaces
• Cross-platform creative systems
• Creator dashboards
• AI integration flows
• Interactive templates and lore-bound UI modules
• Your interface systems will not only power user tools—they will 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 dev 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 async 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 clear 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:

• Web + mobile apps
• Creative tools and runtime editors
• Social, marketplace, and modular platform layers
• 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 makes 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.
