About the role
Role Summary
Gym Class is a top-rated social game on Meta Quest - millions of downloads, 79,000+ reviews, 4.9★. We’re backed by a16z and Y Combinator, alongside sports partners and investors including the NBA, the Golden State Warriors, and athletes like Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Lonzo Ball, Danny Green, and Zaza Pachulia.
This year we’re taking things to the next level - both scaling in virtual reality, and expanding our social games platform to mobile.
We’re hiring a Founding Design Engineer (a product designer who ships production code) to own our consumer UI across both our upcoming mobile app and the web surfaces inside our flagship VR app. This person loves to move fast from Figma → React, set a high quality bar, and has shipped viral consumer apps - including the product loops that drive retention, engagement, and sharing. They’ve also established early design functions at startups: systems, standards, and processes.
At Gym Class, you’ll join a world-class team that ships quickly (and has built massively viral consumer products before), in a product where your work gets immediate feedback from a highly engaged community - in-game and on TikTok/YouTube - while building at the intersection of consumer social + gaming + AI. If this sounds like your next challenge, apply and share some of the consumer apps you’ve shipped.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own 0→1 → production: Take ambiguous ideas + player feedback and ship polished experiences — sketch → Figma → production React.
- Build growth-critical surfaces: Onboarding, identity/profiles, discovery, social loops (invites/sharing), chat, spectating, and UX to drive feedback loops for our AI systems across .
