(Founding) Product & Brand Designer (UI/UX)

(We would prefer candidates based in the Netherlands and/or within the same time zone. Along with your application, please share your location, that would be appreciated!)

We’re building Gametje — a multiplayer gaming platform where phones become controllers and anyone (yes, even non-gamers) can jump into a fun game night in seconds.

Right now, we’re a tiny team:

• John — developer & game builder

• Guillaume — marketing, branding, product strategy

And we’re looking for a designer who loves games and hates messy UX.

What are you working on?

• The name of the project(s): gametje.com
• At what stage of the project(s)? 200 weekly players
• Genres: Casual
• Platforms: Mobile, Browser

Team size and structure?

For which tasks (responsibilities)?

What We’re Trying to Build

Not “just another game.”

We’re building a platform that feels:

• Safe & trustworthy for parents and kids

• Instantly understandable for non-gamers

• Polished, playful, and cohesive everywhere

TV. Phone. Browser. One experience.

What You’d Actually Do

You’d help us turn “this is fun” into “this feels professionally made.”

That means:

• Designing a real design system (components, patterns, variants)

• Making phone controllers obvious and satisfying to use

• Improving flows like:

• Joining a room

• Playing a round

• Big reveal moments

• End-of-game recaps

• Helping redesign the website (homepage, games, how-to-play, etc.)

• Adding micro-delights: animations, feedback, little moments that make people smile

If you like thinking in systems, flows, and experiences — you’ll feel at home.

What kind of professional are we looking for?

Skills We Like (Not All Mandatory)

• UI / UX design for real products

• Multi-device & responsive thinking

• Some motion / micro-animation skills (nice bonus)

• Basic HTML/CSS awareness (helpful, not required)

• Familiarity with React / modern web apps (optional)

Who You Probably Are

• You love games — especially multiplayer ones

• You care deeply about consistency and clarity

• You notice tiny UX problems that ruin big moments

• You enjoy collaborating with developers instead of throwing designs over a wall

Why do we enjoy working here?

About Money (Let’s Be Honest)

We’re early-stage and transparent about it:

• Compensation depends on experience (junior ≠ senior)

• Open to a 6-week paid trial/sprint

• Equity is possible for the right long-term fit - the company is bound to grow tremendously

• Interns and juniors are welcome if the mindset is right

No bullshit promises — just a chance to build something meaningful with real ownership.

If this sounds like your kind of project:

• Send a portfolio

• Tell us what excites you about games, UX, or Gametje specifically

Let’s build something people genuinely love playing ❤️
