Senior UX / Product Designer (Poker Learning and Coaching)
We are on a mission to build the next generation of poker learning, coaching, and training experiences.
This is not a traditional design role focused solely on visual polish or minor UI tweaks. We are looking for a Senior UX / Product Designer who deeply understands how poker players think, study, practice, and level up their game.
Your core task will be translating complex GTO strategies, solver data, and analytical workflows into intuitive, engaging, and highly effective product experiences. You will combine deep product thinking with real poker domain knowledge to help players bridge the gap between theory and execution at the tables.
If you love solving complex interaction challenges, simplifying heavy data systems, and designing products where skill mastery and progression truly matter — this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- End-to-End Ownership: Lead the UX and product design strategy for our poker learning ecosystem — from initial conceptualization and research to prototyping, launch, and iteration.
- Translate Strategy into UX: Turn complex poker math, range analysis, and tactical concepts into frictionless, accessible product flows.
- Design Practice & Mastery Journeys: Create interactive drills, decision-tree simulations, hand history analysis workflows, and personalized coaching loops.
- Work with Experts & Players: Collaborate closely with professional poker players, coaches, and domain experts to uncover real study habits and pain points.
- Rapid Prototyping & AI Integration: Partner directly with product and engineering teams to prototype fast, leverage modern AI tools (Figma, Claude Code/Design), and test ideas iteratively.
- Data-Informed Design: Analyze user behavior and learning metrics to identify friction points, optimize retention, and improve learning outcomes.
Establish UX Architecture: Build and scale design patterns, interaction standards, and UX frameworks for a growing suite of poker products.
What We’re Looking For
- Product Design Expertise: Proven track record of designing complex consumer-facing SaaS, EdTech, or data-rich digital products.
- Full-Stack UX Toolkit: Mastery of information architecture, user flows, rapid prototyping, wireframing, user research, and usability testing.
- Solid Poker Knowledge: Practical understanding of poker concepts, terminology, and how serious players study (GTO, ranges, equity, solvers, etc.).
- Tooling Proficiency: Deep hands-on experience with Figma and familiarity with Claude Code / Claude Design workflows.
- System Simplifier: Ability to take dense analytical data and reduce cognitive load without stripping away strategic depth.
- Product Mindset: Strong product judgment — you challenge assumptions, ask "why," and advocate for the user rather than just executing tickets.
Communication & Collaboration: Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to articulate design decisions to engineers and stakeholders clearly.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience designing poker software, solvers, training tools, or HUDs.
- Background in EdTech, competitive gaming, chess training platforms (e.g., Chess.com), or language learning apps (e.g., Duolingo).
- Experience with gamification, skill assessment models, and adaptive learning algorithms.
- Ability to contribute to high-fidelity UI and design systems when needed.
Passion for using AI-assisted tools to speed up design exploration and research workflows.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role isn’t just about making the interface look sleek. Success means helping players learn faster, practice more effectively, understand their leaks, stay engaged, and measurably improve their win rates.
You will set the product foundation that keeps our experiences intuitive, structured, and genuinely empowering as our platform grows in complexity.
