We’re seeking a Senior Product (UX/UI) Designer to help shape the visual and interactive identity of PlayMode. You’ll play a central role in making PlayMode delightful to use — whether that’s by streamlining post-game analysis, making matches feel exciting, or ensuring the interface looks and feels beautiful across platforms.

In this role, you will:

• Create wireframes, prototypes, and do iterations to define game screens, flows, and learning moments.

• Design interfaces that works on both desktop and mobile, feel playful, responsive, and educational.

• Collaborate on visual direction — from animations and UI motion to iconography and in-game HUDs.

• Conduct lightweight user research and testing to validate and iterate on designs.

• Work with devs to ensure pixel-perfect implementation in both web and mobile apps.

• Contribute to and evolve a flexible design system for PlayMode that balances brand consistency with gameplay creativity.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a strong eye for detail and a creative edge — able to make functional things feel fun.

• Thrives in fast-moving environments and is comfortable with lean processes.

• Enjoys solving interaction challenges with elegant, clever solutions.

• Understands how to design for both casual gamers and power users.

• Has experience designing responsive interfaces and mobile-first UIs.

• Is curious about learning tools, behavioral design, or poker (even if you're new to it).

What you bring to GTO Wizard:

• Proven experience across the full product design lifecycle, ideally in gaming, ed-tech, or interactive apps.

• A portfolio showcasing strong UI and interaction design across both desktop and mobile platforms.

• Native in Figma

• An eye for a beautiful, balanced design

• Bonus: experience with animations/microinteractions or design for gamified products.

• Bonus: understanding or curiosity about poker and GTO concepts.

Why you’ll love being part GTO Wizard & PlayMode:

• Creative freedom: Define how chess.com but for poker will look like

• Real impact: Your work will be used and loved by thousands of players worldwide.

• Tight-knit team: Collaborate with passionate, fast-moving people who care deeply about product quality.
