UX/UI Designer (Product, Gamified Dating App)

We’re looking for a sharp, inventive UX/UI Designer to join our core team and help craft the visual and emotional layer of GENZA — a multiplayer dating game for Gen Z. If you love creating interfaces that feel like stories, not screens — you’re one of us.

About GENZA

GENZA is “dating as a game”: a multiplayer SIMS-like experience with avatars, rooms, AI pets, and social discovery mechanics.

Think match-3 meets matchmaking.

We believe Gen Z deserves more than swipes and ghosting.

We’re building a meaningful alternative where connection is playful, emotionally intelligent, and immersive.

Why now?

Gen Z is bored. Social apps feel transactional.

We’re launching GENZA as a new category — where dating, play, narrative, and identity blend into something truly different.

Our MVP is in active development. You’ll help shape what users see, feel, and remember.

Responsibilities

• Design playful, intuitive interfaces for dating and social gameplay features
• Create 2D game graphics for UI elements and in-game content, ensuring visual consistency with the overall aesthetic and experience
• Build UX flows and screen maps for the core experience: matching, rooms, AI pet, inventory, quests (ASK), rewards
• Prototype and test onboarding, progression, reward mechanics, and user motivation loops
• Translate narrative and emotional intent into UI elements, animations, and microinteractions
• Collaborate with developers, narrative leads, and the marketing team
• Iterate quickly based on data and user feedback

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in product or game interface design
• Proficiency in creating 2D game art assets and interfaces
• Strong portfolio with mobile-first UX/UI work (apps, games, gamification)
• Fluency in Figma (components, prototypes, design systems)
• Solid understanding of game UX: onboarding, levels, progression, retention
• Sense of visual storytelling and emotional design
• Comfort working in rapid iteration cycles and async environments

Tools & Process

• Figma
• Digital illustration tools for creating 2D game graphics (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.)
• Notion
• Linear/Jira
• Slack, Miro, Telegram
• Prototyping tools (e.g., Principle, Protopie, Framer — optional)

Nice to Have

• Experience with avatar-based or narrative games
• Worked on dating or social apps before
• Basic animation/motion design skills (or use of AI tools to assist)
• Passion for Gen Z culture, aesthetics, and digital identity
• Familiarity with AI-generated content (Midjourney, Runway, etc.)

Location & Setup

• Remote-first team, async-friendly
• Core team operates in UTC+0 to UTC+4
• English-speaking environment (basic spoken English required)

Apply if you want to:

• Build a product that reimagines how we connect
• Create interfaces that make people feel something
