About the Role
The Games team at The New York Times creates and evolves experiences across Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, the Daily Crossword, and more. We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to develop new Games experiences and evolve core experiences across web and apps. Our Senior Product Designers are trusted individual contributors who deepen expertise in a craft and use product thinking to deliver clear, sophisticated, playful experiences. You will report to the Design Director of Product Design for Games.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional teammates on product strategy and discovery.
- Frame complex problems, clarify audience needs, and shape opportunities across Games products and features.
- Lead design exploration before detailed execution: identify the work to be done, produce multiple divergent solutions, develop concrete approaches, and collaborate to narrow directions and establish requirements.
- Prototype and validate ideas through user testing.
- Present design rationale and build alignment around decisions.
- Turn concepts into detailed, production-ready flows, mocks, screens, and specifications.
- Work with engineers and product teams on implementation tradeoffs and shipped experiences.
- Contribute to Figma libraries, shared design systems, and engineering documentation that align with implemented component libraries.
- Help ensure experiences across web and apps meet brand and accessibility standards.
- Facilitate discovery sessions and contribute to design rituals.
- Mentor teammates and improve team processes and documentation.
- Support The Times's value of journalistic independence and our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
Requirements
- 4+ years of design experience working within cross-functional teams
- A portfolio that shows your thought process and finished design work
- Demonstrated experience building, maintaining, and applying design systems in environments with legacy UI or multiple parallel component libraries
- Fluency in UX best practices for responsive web and mobile
- Knowledge of usability and accessible, inclusive design (including typography scales, contrast, motion, and semantics)
- Proficiency in Figma and Rive or equivalent software
- Experience contributing to a design system across web and native apps
- Partnered with platform or infrastructure teams on foundational refactors or component-library migrations
- Experience shaping design practices such as critiques, documentation, or templates; facilitating discovery with stakeholders; and aligning design intent with implementation through design tokens, component APIs, and specifications
