Staff Product Designer, Unity AI

Unity Unity · Enterprise · Mountain View, CA · Design

Staff Product Designer for Unity AI, focusing on designing AI-native products for the gaming industry.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the design vision across Unity's AI product portfolio, identifying opportunities and proposing new initiatives that push our products forward
  2. Build functional prototypes using code to rapidly validate ideas—going beyond wireframes to ship working concepts alongside engineers
  3. Collaborate closely with product managers and engineering to shape roadmaps, flush out product ideas in detail, and represent design in planning meetings and design reviews
  4. Lead multi-functional collaboration across teams (engine, editor, marketing, executives) to drive design consistency and elevate the overall user experience
  5. Communicate vision through concept models, flows, and artifacts while being vocal about how our products should look, feel, and evolve
