About Chance:

At Chance, we’re on a mission to redefine how people connect in the digital age. Meaningful human connections are the foundation of a fulfilled life, and our video-matching platform is designed to bring people closer in a world that often feels distant. We’re not just building a product; we’re cultivating a community where vulnerability, kindness, and genuine interaction take center stage.

Our founders are committed to creating a space where people can form deep, lasting connections. We’re early on this journey, and we’re looking for passionate individuals who share our vision and want to make a real impact as a part of the founding team of Chance!

The Role:

We are seeking a visionary Founding Product Designer who can think outside the box, design cutting-edge, forward-thinking experiences, and bring a "touch of magic" to every interaction. You will work closely with the founding team, including our CEO/CTO, who has a proven track record of launching four successful #1 social apps like Gas, Poparazzi, NGL, and Monkey.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of a product that prioritizes connection and kindness over everything else, helping to create a user experience that drives engagement, fosters genuine interaction, and stands out in the market.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead the design vision for our iOS app, creating unique, engaging experiences with a focus on animations and outside-the-box solutions.

• Collaborate with the founding team to define the product roadmap, shaping a forward-thinking design language that feels fresh, interactive, and magical.

• Build user-friendly and aesthetically stunning interfaces while maintaining optimal usability and accessibility standards.

• Create rapid prototypes and wireframes, testing design hypotheses with users and incorporating feedback to iterate on designs.

• Work closely with engineers to ensure seamless integration between design and development, especially in key areas like animations, transitions, and user interactions.

• Develop design systems and guidelines to maintain a consistent, high-quality experience as we scale.

Ideal Candidate:

• Proven experience as a product designer with a strong portfolio, ideally having designed or built a social app that has grown virally.

• A forward-thinking, creative mindset, with a passion for designing interactions and animations that captivate and inspire users.

• Strong ability to work autonomously and take ownership of design initiatives from concept to execution.

• Startup experience is highly desirable, particularly in high-growth environments.

• A passion for fostering social connections and a deep belief in Chance's mission to strengthen genuine human interaction through design.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a desire to be part of a small, close-knit, mission-driven team.

Bonus Points:

• Experience working in a cross-functional team with engineers and product managers to create world-class experiences.

• Knowledge of motion design or animation tools and the ability to incorporate movement into your designs.

• Experience working with design systems and contributing to their development and implementation.

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation with 0.5-1% equity in a high-potential startup.

• Health, vision, and dental benefits to support your well-being.

• Company offsites in beautiful locations to recharge and bond with the team.

• Work from a beautiful office in LA with a team environment that encourages creativity and productivity.

• 4-weeks PTO to ensure you have the time you need to relax and rejuvenate.

• Opportunities for personal and professional growth as you help shape a company that’s dedicated to making a positive impact on the world.
