Product Designer - Gaming
What is Sanlo?
Gaming and apps represent an innovative, exciting, and creative industry that so skillfully combines data with design. Yet the financial side of this industry is still so often complicated and overlooked. Gaming companies with great product should have access to the tools that help them drive monetization and build sustainable businesses to ship amazing products: that’s where we come in.
We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping developers around the world do the same.
Sanlo was founded and grew out of a shared passion for games and a deep respect for the developers building them. We bring curiosity and efficiency to everything we do, and cultivate a supportive learning environment within a rapidly changing, big opportunity industry. We’re building a platform of financial products to demystify finance and set our customers up for successful, smart growth. We’re about supporting and empowering gaming companies to create products that their customers love, while running profitable businesses.
What it's like to work at Sanlo:
You'll have an opportunity to shape not just our product, but the company itself: our vision, the success of our customers, and how we work together.
Here at Sanlo, we operate with a set of core values that help guide our intentions and interactions:
Always growing
Spirit of a champion
Ownership
Embracing the change
Authenticity
Community
As a remote-first team, we’re headquartered in sunny San Francisco ☀️ and sprinkled throughout the world.
What you'll be doing:
As a Product Designer, this is an exciting opportunity for you to put your unique creative stamp on multiple aspects of product design.
We are looking for a strong design thinker and operator with a stellar execution track record. Your work is critical in our journey of achieving our goals and advancing our mission.
You'll define and design one of our core products - from research to strategy to interactions to pixels. Sometimes you'll work on loosely defined concepts that need exploration, and sometimes create more concrete tactical work. You'll stay close to our customers, the gaming companies, and have deep understanding of their workflows and pain points and how it translates into the product experience. You have deep understanding and empathy of the players of games and you play games yourself.
Gain a deep understanding of our customers, their needs, pain points, and aspirations, and use that knowledge to drive design decisions and solutions.
Take ownership of the design process from end to end, including user research, concept development, wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity visuals.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders, to ensure seamless integration and high-quality implementation of designs.
Contribute to the overall product strategy and decision-making processes, providing valuable insights and recommendations based on your expertise.
Iterate on designs based on user feedback, usability testing, and data analysis, continuously striving for improvement and innovation.
Help establish and foster a strong design culture within Sanlo, promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning.
We're looking for someone with:
5+ years of experience as a product designer, demonstrating a track record of successfully delivering products and creating value for customers.
Industry experience in in gaming marketplaces or in both video gaming and e-commerce
Passion for gaming: Familiarity with building games as product as well as with products used and designed for the gaming, enabling you to understand the specific needs and requirements of both the players and gaming companies building the games.
Complex design experience: Strong portfolio of design work on complex problems with demonstrated ability to create an elegant user-friendly product. Unparalleled attention to detail
Move fast: Demonstrated ability to ship high-quality product rapidly, incorporate customer feedback and be comfortable continuously iterating. We need to strike a balance between moving fast and building sustainably.
