Location: Bay Area (San Francisco / Peninsula)
Reports to: CTO / Leadership Team
The Opportunity
We are building a first-of-its-kind consumer membership ecosystem from the ground up. As our Lead Product Designer, you will be one of the first foundational hires, responsible for shaping the visual and experiential DNA of a platform that will reach over 100 million users. There is no legacy code, no inherited design debt—just a "zero-to-one" build powered by an AI-first mindset.
The Product
You will lead the design for a membership app anchored around the MrBeast audience. This isn't a passive content app; it is a highly interactive, gamified ecosystem involving:
- Active Participation: Challenges, quests, and competitions that drive community engagement.
- Real-World Value: Integrating telco perks, partner rewards (Uber, Gemini), and digital benefits.
- Creator Marketplace: Building the tools that connect brands, creators, and fans in a global marketplace.
What You’ll Do
- Partner directly with the Director of Engineering to define the "ideal squad" workflow and product roadmap.
- Lead the design of our highest-priority consumer product end-to-end, with the opportunity to build and mentor a design team around you as the org scales.
- Design and test core retention loops, including onboarding flows, achievement systems, and economy design for digital and real-world experiences.
- Utilize AI tools and agents to iterate at high velocity.
- Own the end-to-end design process, from initial concept to shipping a scaled consumer product.
Who You Are
- Consumer Expert: You have a portfolio full of shipped products or features used by millions of people.
- AI-Native: You aren't just curious about AI; you are "burning through tokens" and integrating AI into your design workflow to move faster and smarter.
- Scrappy & Scaled: You have the "startup" experience to build from zero with a nimble team but the "big tech" experience to know what happens when a product hits massive scale.
- Action-Oriented: You thrive in ambiguity and prefer building and shipping over long, process-heavy design cycles. You prefer to “show” vs. “act.”
Benefits & Model
- Equity-First: We offer highly competitive equity packages for foundational hires who want to own a piece of the business.
- Hybrid Culture: 3 days per week in our Bay Area hub to collaborate closely with the team.
Benefits
The Perks, Why Work On the MrBeast Team
We are redefining what entertainment and storytelling look like at global scale. Every piece of content we publish reaches millions and influences culture in real time. This is your opportunity to lead the team that decides how those moments come to life across every screen.
- Competitive Salary
- Generous Medical (Blue Cross Blue Shield), Dental, Vision and company-paid Life Insurance
- Company contributions to employee Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
- 401k Plan with Safe Harbor company-matching
- Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays
- Company-provided technology package
- Relocation assistance where applicable, including travel and company-provided housing for the first 90 days
