Required Qualifications
- 4+ years of experience designing digital experiences, products, and platforms as a User Experience Designer or Interaction Designer.
- Experience with Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, or other industry design and prototyping tools.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, including the ability to align partners on goals, explain tradeoffs, and surface misalignment early.
Desired Qualifications
- A BA/BS degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction/Interface Design, Communication Design, Graphic Design, or equivalent experience.
- Familiarity with or strong interest in mobile games, live-service products, or the MOBA genre (especially League of Legends IP).

- Optional: An eagerness to explore and apply emerging technologies (like AI tools) to enhance design workflows.
