We are a team of 700+ fully remote people in 60+ countries working hard to serve the global chess community. We are here to support 165 million players worldwide with the best possible product, content, and tools to serve the chess community!
We are a tech company. A gaming company. A content company. And we do it all with passion and commitment to the game. Above all we prize our mission-driven, flat, life-celebrating, no-corporate culture, and we look forward to meeting you and learning more about what you can bring to the team.
About You
You’re a product designer with a strong eye for UI and a solid grasp of user experience. You care about making things clear, usable, and well-crafted, especially for a young and scholastic audience. You’re comfortable working across problem types, new features, flow improvements, or patterns that need to scale. You zoom in to refine details and zoom out to see how your work fits the broader product. You communicate your thinking clearly, collaborate well cross-functionally, and own your work from concept to code.
You are a team player. You know to check your ego at the door. You would also love nothing more than to help people around the world discover the fun of chess!
What you’ll do
Design simple, clear, and fun interactions for web and mobile, converting mobile designs to web experiences and vice versa
Own projects from concept through implementation, ensuring strong design-to-code alignment
Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Design to define problems and ship effective solutions
Create flows, wireframes, and prototypes to explore and communicate ideas
Use and contribute to our design system to support scalable, cohesive experiences across platforms
Present your work and explain decisions using user needs, product context, and data
Iterate based on feedback, product goals, user insights, and UX research
Give and receive thoughtful design feedback
What we’re looking for
3+ years of experience in product design on a consumer-facing product or game
A portfolio showing strong UX thinking, high-quality UI, and your design process
Experience working with, contributing to, and scaling a design system (including tokens and pattern libraries)
B2B / enterprise product design experience, particularly designing for teachers, school districts, or institutional users
Solid understanding of typography, layout, hierarchy, and interaction design
Attention to the details: styling inputs, error handling, hover states, responsive behavior
Experience with Figma and using AI-assisted design tools (e.g., Figma Make, Cursor, Claude Code)
Strong communication skills – written and verbal, in a remote, distributed team
You “get” chess without needing to be an expert
Bonus Points
Interest in chess and familiarity with kids gaming and ed-tech platforms
Experience with direct-to-consumer and enterprise software platforms that serve different needs for different users.
Experience designing complex or data-rich products
Frontend or design engineering experience (web, iOS, or Android)
Experience with accessibility and inclusive design practices
