Overview
Gym Class is a top rated social game on Meta Quest with millions of downloads, 79,000+ reviews, and a 4.9-star rating. We’re hiring our founding Design Engineer to drive the development of our upcoming mobile web app (embedded in native) and web surfaces inside our flagship, social VR experience.
You’ll own key web surfaces end-to-end — crafting in Figma, then building responsive, production-grade UI with React/Node/CSS — and you’ll set a clear quality bar for speed, polish, and accessibility . If you love living at the intersection of consumer design and front-end engineering , owning a high-compact roadmap for a startup, and shipping to a highly engaged social audience — this role is for you.
Responsibilities
- Ship end-to-end features: Turn rough ideas and user feedback into polished flows — wireframes → interactive Figma → production React/Node.
- Drive the web roadmap: Propose, scope, and deliver improvements across mobile and VR platforms, social flows, profiles, discovery, chat and AI, spectating — balancing velocity and quality.
- Build a design system: Create reusable components and interaction patterns; advocate consistency across mobile web and in-VR web surfaces.
- Hit performance budgets: Optimize for fast loads and 60fps interactions on mobile and VR.
- Tighten quality loops: Instrument analytics, run lightweight usability tests, and iterate quickly based on real player behavior.
Qualifications
- Designer-who-codes (or engineer with taste): 3–6+ years building consumer web products. Strong Figma skills and a shipped portfolio of design + code work.
- Front-end strong: Expert in React, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS (layouts, animations, responsive design). You care about spacing, typography, and micro-interactions.
- Performance-minded: Comfortable profiling, code-splitting, image/asset strategy, caching/CDN, and keeping bundles lean.
- Pragmatic & fast: You scope well, communicate clearly, and ship iteratively without sacrificing polish.
- Entrepreneurial: High-ownership, comfortable with ambiguity. Ex-founders and builders who like to run with problems do great here.
Pay and Benefits
Salary ranges may be inclusive of several career levels and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Additional benefits for this role include: equity; and medical, dental, and vision benefits; and a 401k retirement plan with matching.
