Medal enables millions of gamers to capture and share their epic gaming moments and create memories together. Medal users create 3M+ videos per day across over a million daily active users on our desktop and mobile applications. Your work will have a real impact on millions of people around the world!

You'll be joining a passionate and collaborative team that’s building the next evolution of social experiences for gamers. Your mission will be to design products that make sharing, discovering, and connecting around gaming moments seamless and fun. You’ll work closely with engineers, researchers, and product leads to define the user experience of the Medal platform and shape how gamers express themselves and engage with one another.

You’ll take ownership of core surfaces across mobile and desktop, using your understanding of user behavior, social systems, and game culture to craft experiences that feel native to gaming communities and genuinely delightful to use.

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of experience designing consumer-facing digital products, ideally for social or creator-driven platforms.

  • Strong visual and interaction design skills — you can craft elegant, intuitive interfaces and translate complex ideas into clear, usable designs.

  • Proficiency with design tools such as Figma, FigJam, and prototyping tools (e.g. Principle, Framer, ProtoPie).

  • Gaming culture fluency: You play games and understand what makes game communities unique — from the language players use to the social dynamics that form around play.

  • Experience designing for both desktop and mobile, with an understanding of platform-specific UX patterns and accessibility best practices.

  • In-person: Looking to hire in NYC to work alongside the product team. 5 days in the office.

  • Bonus: Experience designing for communities, content creation, or real-time interaction products (Discord, Twitch, TikTok, etc.).

Why Join Us

  • Shape the future of how gamers connect and express themselves online.

  • Work alongside a talented, passionate team that values ownership, creativity, and experimentation.

  • Competitive salary, equity options, comprehensive health insurance, and 401k.

  • Design experiences that touch millions of players every day — and help define what gaming culture looks like in the next decade.
