To date, our Co-founder / Co-CEO has led our design team. However, as her workload increases across product, marketing, and growth, she's increasingly finding herself as the bottleneck for design decisions. As such, we're looking for a system-minded, detail-oriented, puzzle-game-loving, multi-disciplinary designer with a big appetite to learn and grow as much as possible under dedicated mentorship.
Also hiring a senior product designer who's ready to hit the ground running here.

About The Team
Being a global prosumer art marketplace founded by artists and designers, we're design-led in nature and have a deep focus on not only intuitive and functional UX, but delightful and fun UI across everything we do.
Being an internet community built by internet natives, we love internet culture and strive to protect human creativity through embracing human-only spaces reminiscent of the early 2000s internet with modern specs.
Being an intentionally small, profitable indie company, we strongly believe in craft, ownership, the Pareto Principle, and the joy of creation. We measure our success by the value we deliver to our artists, community, and team - not in headcount and fundraising.

About The Role
As a Product Designer at VGen, you’ll be a core member of our design team and work directly under our Co-founder / Co-CEO with her direct mentorship.
You’ll work on creating intuitive, fun, and user-centered desktop and mobile designs to make meaningful impacts on the lives of our artists and users. If you'd like, you'll also have the opportunity to contribute to artistic / graphics / merch / multi-media marketing projects as they come up.
You’ll collaborate closely with other designers, product managers, engineers, and users and have the opportunity to see your projects evolve from research, design, dev hand-off, all the way to testing, launch, and being showered with love from the community.
Whether your goal is to create the biggest impact projects of your career or to one day lead our entire design team, our Co-Founder / Co-CEO is excited to help you towards your goals.
