About favorited
At favorited, we believe that digital communities should be more than just spaces to watch content. Our platform is a place to connect, engage, and play, and empowers creators by enhancing audience participation and fostering deeper connections.
Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But, if you’re a self-starter eager to shape the future of social interaction with a team that holds itself to the highest standards, this is the place for you. We value open, yet respectful communication and real-time feedback to help each other grow quickly. If you’re passionate about gaming and have a knack for gamifying everyday life, you’ll thrive in our fast-moving, collaborative environment.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior UI/UX Designer with deep experience in mobile and live service games. In this role, you will lead end-to-end UI/UX design for both creator and audience experiences and gamified systems such as leaderboards, stores, rewards, and progression loops. You’ll design intuitive and engaging experiences that make our real-time interactive platform rewarding for both users and creators.
Responsibilities
Lead the design of user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals for a gamified live streaming experience.
Design and refine gamified systems such as leaderboards, in-app stores, progression, achievements, and reward structures.
Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and game designers to translate ideas into intuitive, engaging interfaces.
Champion user-centered design principles across the product, ensuring clarity, usability, and delight at every touchpoint.
Leverage design thinking philosophies to conduct user research, usability testing, and incorporate feedback into rapid design iterations.
Anticipate how design decisions will scale in live service environments with frequent content updates and evolving features.
Advocate for cohesive visual design standards and UI/UX best practices across the platform.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of UI/UX design experience, with at least 3 years in mobile or live service games.
Proven track record designing for meta-game features (leaderboards, rewards, stores, progression).
Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design execution from concept through production.
Deep passion for gaming, live streaming, and real-time interactive online experiences.
Proficiency with industry-standard design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite).
Experience collaborating in cross-functional teams with product, design, and engineering.
Strong communication skills, with an ability to give and receive feedback openly and constructively.
Product design and design thinking experience (beyond games) is a strong plus.
