Warsaw Remote (Global) Full-time

Locals is hiring a Product Designer

Responsibilities

  • You own the entire design scope of the product. Not screens — the experience. Onboarding, character selection and profiles, the relationship progression system, gamification, re-engagement, monetisation flows, and the design system that holds it all together.
  • How a person uses it. Day 1, day 7, day 90. The first time they meet their companion, and the thousandth.
  • How different people use it. A 19-year-old in Osaka and a 25-year-old in Texas won't use this the same way. Cohorts, funnels, retention — you read them and you act on them.
  • How the product speaks. Notifications, empty states, paywalls, the moment it says nothing at all. Every surface is the character talking.
  • Across every platform. Mobile first, then macOS/Windows, then web — one unified feature set. Systems thinking isn't a nice-to-have here; it's the job.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in product design — consumer, mobile-first, cross-platform, with a portfolio that proves it.
  • You've shipped products people opened every day — real audiences, real metrics, real consequences.
  • You make the call, and you own the outcome. You don't wait for permission to fix what's broken.
  • A feel for global consumer culture and where trends move — you follow what resonates across markets and audiences, and you're genuinely curious to go deeper into ours. We build for the US, Japan, and Korea, and a designer who only reads Western taste will miss half the room.
  • You'd rather ship three rough versions than polish one in isolation.
  • You use AI tools daily and still think for yourself.
  • Working English (B1+).

Nice to Have

  • Fluency in anime, gaming, or fandom aesthetics is a real plus, but the non-negotiable is the instinct to notice cultural nuance and the willingness to immerse.
  • Plus Russian, Ukrainian, or Belarusian — that's how the team talks internally today.

Benefits

  • Remote across Europe, Warsaw hub — coworking covered wherever you are.
  • 29 days of paid leave.
  • Care bonus to spend on benefits that matter to you.
  • Any hardware you want — latest MacBook or whatever does the job.
  • A small team that has done this before, and a product with no precedent to copy.
  • Your first design in front of real users within a month of joining.

Additional Information

  • Plus Russian, Ukrainian, or Belarusian — that's how the team talks internally today.
  • Don't apply if you need a PM to hand you a spec, or six weeks before you're comfortable showing a screen.
