You will report to the Chief Creative Officer and work with other designers across VRChat’s various teams to ensure cohesion across our efforts.
Job & Team Impact

We’d like to take them to the next level and improve the workflow and usability for all creators! This work will have a direct impact on the tens of thousands of creators who regularly use our tools.
Duties & Responsibilities
- Responsible for working collaboratively with the team to design, release and iterate on design-related features of VRChat Creator tools
- Keeping the team informed of the design of features as they evolve, release, and are iterated on
- Staying up to date with community feedback on VRChat Creation Tools
- Help build and iterate on prototypes with others on the Creators team where necessary
- Engage with VRChat’s related connected platforms like Discord, Twitch, Youtube, etc. to understand the environment well enough to be effective in the role

- Strong work ethic and communication skills – you are a self-starter
- Must excel in the construction of design documents, diagrams, and other materials
- Must be able to communicate design concepts effectively to the team
- The ability to work with ambiguous ideas and turn them into practical design concepts

- Experience with Unity Editor Window tool development
- You have built content in VRChat or other platforms
- You have a good understanding of game engines and their usage, especially Unity
- You have a degree in game design, human interaction, or similar
