Senior Product Designer

Ludaxis.io is a company focused on crafting engaging product experiences, and they are seeking a Senior Product Designer. The role involves owning the product layer, designing motion and micro-interactions, building a design system, and prototyping in real code while focusing on user retention and conversion.

Responsibilities:

• Own the product layer — every surface outside the core puzzle and the feel that ties them together
• Prototype in real code against our live design system, read the funnel like a retention curve, and make the hard call every time: ship it, tune it, or cut it
• Have shipped product design end to end — research → IA → interaction → visual → handoff — and owned the whole arc on real, live products
• Design motion and micro-interaction as a craft, not a garnish — timing, feedback, the feel of every state
• Build and own a design system — tokens, components, states — and treat quality as structural, not pixel-by-pixel
• Prototype in real code (React / HTML / CSS) against a live design system — working prototypes in days, not clickable mockups in weeks
• Read the funnel and the retention curve — D1 / D7 / D30, conversion, drop-off — and turn them into clear design calls, A/B testing when it matters
• Are AI-native, not AI-curious — you ship working coded prototypes with Claude Code or Cursor, synthesize research with AI, and know exactly where your judgment is the thing a model can't replace
• Own microcopy and accessibility as part of the craft, not a handoff
• Know mobile cold — touch, the first ten seconds, and what makes a free-to-play game feel worth keeping
• Frame trade-offs in a sentence, defend the quality bar, and raise the people around you
• Are at home with ambiguity, autonomy, and a small team that ships

• Are at home with ambiguity, autonomy, and a small team that ships
• Bonus points for free-to-play / LiveOps surfaces
• store and monetization UX
• motion tools like Rive or After Effects
• designing AI-powered product experiences themselves
• a feel for music theory or rhythm
• A design degree is welcome — but the work speaks louder
