ABOUT PLAYTESTCLOUD

PlaytestCloud and our products power the player-centric development of modern mobile games. Over 60% of the studios listed in the Top 100 grossing games charts on the App Store have tested their games with PlaytestCloud, so we have a lot of experience under our belt.

  • We’re the premier user testing provider for mobile games - we help game studios worldwide make the best games they possibly can.
  • We’ve built technology that modifies iOS and Android games on a binary level to add screencast recording, security features, and instructions.
  • We’re bootstrapped and profitable, with 300+ paying game studios and 1,000,000+ playtesters.

THE ROLE

To achieve our bold goal, we are looking for a highly motivated, ambitious, and innovative UI/UX designer (f/m/d) to adapt and eventually replace our Bootstrap-based web design, to ultimately create a strong “PlaytestCloud design identity” that delights both game studios and game testers. Our chosen candidate will:

  • Generate world class designs and take charge of the design language at PlaytestCloud
  • Be the first person in this role, take responsibility for a core part of the role from day one and make an impact in our small and growing UI/UX team
  • Interface with our Product Manager and our User Researcher to define the UX for user stories
  • Create wireframes for user flows
  • Create mockups using the tools of your choice (Figma, Photoshop, etc.)

  • Create an application design guide for the company
  • Optional: Assist in implementing your designs in HTML and CSS

DO YOU NEED TO MEET EACH HIRING CRITERIA

​​A common question you might be asking is: “Do I need to meet all the requirements to apply?”

Our answer is, studies by several different sources have shown that, on average, men will apply for a job if they meet 60% of the application requirements. By contrast, women/non-binary people will seek to match a much higher percentage of the requirements before applying. We encourage everyone to apply and give us a chance to evaluate your skills and experience. We are all learning on the job, and although the listing above has been carefully compiled, we are also open-minded and interested to hear about the value you can bring to the role, and to PlaytestCloud.
