We're looking for a Systems / Engagement Designer to architect the progression, reward, and reputation systems that keep users coming back to our marketplace platform. This is a build-from-scratch role: you'll own the psychology, mechanics, economy, and feedback loops that drive real engagement — not just points and badges.
You'll design systems that motivate users to return regularly, complete onboarding, contribute and verify listings, build reputation and status, invite others, and ultimately drive marketplace activity. That means thinking in progression curves, reward schedules, social dynamics, and behavioral economics — and backing your decisions with data and engagement metrics.
We care far more about how you think about motivation and systems than about a specific job title. You'll likely be a strong fit if you've worked as any of the following: a Systems, Economy, Progression, or LiveOps Designer on mobile free-to-play or live-service games; a designer of MMO progression or economy systems; a Product or Growth Designer on a marketplace product (,duolingo Uber, DoorDash-style); or an engagement/retention designer in EdTech (think Duolingo). Self-taught folks from game studios are welcome. Familiarity with frameworks like Octalysis is a plus, but real experience shipping engagement systems matters most.
If you love turning products into experiences people genuinely want to return to, we'd love to hear from you. Tell us about an engagement or progression system you designed, the behavior you were trying to drive, and how it performed.
