UI/UX Designer (Remote)

Smerf is looking to expand our design team. As part of this team, you will be responsible for designing the look and feel of a platform seeking to improve the gaming experience for users everywhere. 

Smerf is a company for gamers, by gamers on a mission to fix some of the core issues in the gaming community. Have you ever been flamed in-game for simply being yourself or had too few friends online to round out a squad? Ever dreamed that the things you do in-game had more connectivity to your communities and events outside of the game? These are just some of the many problems that Smerf is solving and we need you to help make this dream a reality.

We are looking to hire a UI/UX Designer to our team of video game enthusiasts. We are working on cutting edge technology that will detoxify, reconnect, and unite gaming communities of all kinds.

As an early design hire, you’ll have the opportunity to own the user experience of major features, with the help of our tight knit team, to push Smerf to the next level.
