Design the future of the Creator experience in VRChat
Join the VRChat team!
We’re building the future of immersive, user-generated worlds, where anyone, anywhere, can connect, play, explore, and express themselves.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Creators team and lead the evolution of how our content, starting with props, is created, managed, and brought to life in VRChat. This is a high-impact role focused on shaping interaction systems and UI across desktop, VR and mobile. This role is focused on shaping how players experience and interact with objects in the world, from companions to campfires and beyond.
While this role is primarily focused on Content and Props, your influence will extend across the broader creator toolkit over time. If you’re energized by designing for makers, translating technical complexity into clear, approachable UX, and enabling a global community of artists and developers, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
Lead end-to-end design for core props workflows. Define player-facing interactions for new content types, such as companions, environmental objects, and interactive items.
Define interaction models, affordances, and behavioral systems that make props intuitive and engaging in immersive social contexts.
Explore and establish new UX patterns for spatial and presence-based interaction, including how players discover, use, and share props in-world.
Translate technical concepts into approachable UX through thoughtful flows, clear visual hierarchy, and user-friendly microcopy.
Partner closely with engineers to ensure interactions feel responsive, performant, and grounded in technical reality.
Collaborate with product and design leadership to influence the long-term direction of content interaction systems.
Run lightweight usability testing (concept checks, prototype tests) to validate designs early, identify friction, and iterate quickly.
Use prototyping and in-world testing to validate interaction concepts and refine usability in real contexts.
Who You Are
You have 5 to 8 or more years of product design experience, with a strong focus on interaction design, systems design, or immersive environments.
You have experience designing interactive systems, game mechanics, or spatial interfaces.
You are comfortable working in ambiguity and can define structure where none exists yet.
You can simplify complexity without sacrificing capability or clarity for users.=
You’re comfortable working in Figma and collaborating with engineering to bring your designs to life.
You think in flows and systems, understanding how tools fit into broader user lifecycles and full product ecosystems.
You’re familiar with Unity, our SDKs, Blender, or other dev tools.
You’re a proactive collaborator. You listen well, give clear feedback, and are energized by working closely with other teammates.
You care about empowering users, and you care about how people connect, play, and express themselves through shared experiences within VRChat.
Bonus Points
Understanding of trust, safety, or moderation systems that support healthy online interactions.
Familiarity with social VR, presence-based UX, or designing for avatar-based expression.
Experience working on cross-platform design (desktop, mobile, VR headsets).
Passion for online communities, emergent play, social behavior, or the sociology of digital spaces.
