Our mission is simple but ambitious: bring people closer together through the gamification of live sports — and we're just getting started.

The Role

As a Product Designer at Splash Sports you work with PMs, engineers, and other designers to define the right problems, explore and validate solutions, and ship experiences that change how people play.

Design at Splash is shifting to an AI first, builder led way of working. Work starts in tools like Claude, where you explore ideas, flows, and interactions, then moves into Figma for systems and polish. Designers prototype early, test, and stay involved through launch and iteration.

We are early in this shift. Some of it works. Some of it we are still building. You will help build it. We are looking for a designer who wants to work this way and who treats AI as a core part of how they design.

What You’ll Own

• Own product work end to end: Partner with product and engineering to define the problem, explore the solution space, validate concepts, and ship work that moves key metrics. Stay on it through launch and iteration, not just handoff.

• Design for two audiences: Players and Commissioners both have their own unique requirements and you’ll be asked to deeply understand both. It is essential that you are comfortable speaking with our users and understanding their problems in depth.

• Use tools like Claude to pressure test the problem, surface risks and edge cases, and get to early approaches fast. Bring that to your PM and engineers to align on direction. Sometimes the PRD gets written off the back of your exploration.

• Bring it into Figma. Translate validated concepts into full state coverage and system alignment so engineering builds without guessing. Create the mockups, prototypes, and high fidelity visuals that communicate ideas and describe their execution.

What we're looking for

• 1 to 4 years experience in sports gaming or mobile games. Experience designing for DFS, sportsbook, prediction markets, or contest formats like survivor and pick'em. At a minimum, we'll want to see that you already know our games as a player.

• Product thinking first. You understand the product and the business underneath it, and you treat design as how you express that, not as the point of the job.

• Independence. You take a problem, run with it, bring work to review, take feedback, and incorporate it on your own. This is not a role with daily direction.

• Active use of LLMs such as Claude or ChatGPT in your day to day design work, and comfort in tools like Claude Code even if you are not writing production code by hand.

• Craft that holds up at the pixel. We are a visual team. Interaction detail, typography, hierarchy, and polish carry as much weight here as the thinking behind them. Your portfolio should show both: how you framed the problem, what you tried, what shipped, and what changed.

• Ability to work with PMs to define success metrics and adjust based on results.

• Real love of sports. You watch, you play, you have opinions about your lineup.

Nice to haves:

• Experience on small, fast moving teams where you were one of only a few designers

• Experience with products where real money or real stakes are in play

As a Splash team member, you’ll receive a comprehensive compensation and benefits package that includes:
