Company mission
To build VRChat into one of the most successful community-driven social VR platforms in existence.
Role
Who you are
- You have 3+ years of professional product design experience and have worked on shipping experiences, ideally for tools, platforms, or creator workflow-heavy products
- You have strong UX instincts and know how to simplify complexity without sacrificing capability or clarity
- You think in flows and systems—understanding how tools fit into broader user journeys and product ecosystems
- You’re comfortable working in Figma and collaborating with engineering to bring your designs to life
- You bring curiosity to technical topics, and you're excited to work with creators who use Unity, Udon, SDKs, and other dev tools
- You’re a proactive collaborator. You listen well, give clear feedback, and are energized by working closely with other designers
- You care about empowering users, and you're motivated by building tools that support creativity, expression, and economic opportunity
Desirable
- 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 social behavior, or the sociology of digital spaces
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a product designer to join our Creators team and help shape the experience for the people who build the worlds, avatars, and systems that make VRChat come alive.
- You'll work alongside a senior design lead to improve and expand the tools, workflows, and interfaces that support creators—from onboarding and content management to publishing, monetization, and community building
- Collaborate with your design lead, PMs, and engineers to improve core creator workflows, including content upload, management, publishing, and monetization
- Design intuitive interfaces that support creators with varying levels of technical expertise—from hobbyists to professional developers
- Translate technical concepts into approachable UX through thoughtful flows, clear visual hierarchy, and user-friendly microcopy
- Pair with the community and support teams to understand creator pain points and use those insights to improve tool usability and reduce friction
- Create wireframes, prototypes, and polished mockups across platforms (web, desktop, mobile), with an eye toward accessibility and responsiveness
- Collaborate with the design systems team to ensure visual and interaction consistency across the creator experience
- Help define the user experience for new creator-focused features—from experimental publishing tools to scalable monetization programs
- Contribute to early discovery and testing of new tools, including interviews, journey mapping, and usability testing
Our take
Virtual Reality is one of the technologies with the highest projected potential for growth. VRChat offers a free-to-play metaverse platform where users gather as avatars in virtual spaces to socialize and hang out, just as one would in real life.
Whilst competitor Rec Room has a greater valuation, VRChat has positioned itself as the leading VR socializing-based product. It taps into a modern desire to form connections in digital spaces, with some users meeting their real-life partners in their virtual avatar form. When contemplating VR’s popularity, it cannot be denied that virtual realities enable freedom of self-expression, an attractive proposition perhaps for those who struggle with their identity and place in the real world.
The company recently announced a 30% workforce reduction, addressing overhiring during its 2021 boom. Despite these layoffs, the company remains focused on long-term growth and capital efficiency, positioning itself for continued success as VR becomes a key part of social connection.
