Founding Game UX Designer

Summary  Storycraft is hiring an experienced Game UX Designer to lead the design of immersive user experiences, intuitive user interfaces, and new types of mobile gameplay. You will be designing a never before seen collaborative game creation platform built from the ground up using generative AI.
As part of the founding team, you'll be in at the ground floor to design the initial product and establish our design culture.
Who we are  Storycraft is founded on the belief that anyone should be able to tell their stories through games.
Our product is an AI-Generated-Content (AIGC) gaming platform that reimagines how story driven video games are created, by letting creators deliver daily, episodic game content to their player base. Storycraft uses generative AI to create maps, characters, and in-game objects to power a new type of creative gameplay where truly anything can happen.
The co-founders Andy and Adam are serial AI and gaming entrepreneurs. For Storycraft they have partnered with and raised capital from some of the best regarded firms in both gaming ( LVP - investors of Supercell, Unity, etc, etc) and consumer products ( Signal Fire - investors in Grammarly, Clubhouse, etc). We are currently hiring the founding team and are looking for folks who are keen to innovate at the intersection of generative AI, social gaming, and storytelling.
Day-to-day you'll work directly with the founders and a small, tightknit team of frontend, backend and AI developers to rapidly prototype, and iterate to find product market fit and deliver the best possible experience to our creators and players.
