Senior Product Designer (Full-Time or Freelance)

Do you pride yourself on designing intuitive experiences and beautiful interfaces? WayBetter is looking for an experienced product designer to join our growing design team. We're looking for someone who has deep expertise in digital product design, along with a versatile skill set that covers problem framing, interaction design, information architecture, rapid prototyping, user testing, and graphic design.

The products you design will be used by hundreds of thousands of people, and you’ll know that you’re contributing to improving lives by helping players develop healthier habits. Given the vast audience — and unlimited potential — constant variety in this role is a given! We value ambition, talent, and enthusiasm; you’ll thrive with the opportunity to make this role your own as we scale to from 30 to 100 employees.

You will work side by side with our Creative Director, and Product Managers to improve our existing products (across iOS, Android, and web) and launch new ones.

About us

WayBetter is reinventing motivation itself. We make a whole new category of games that help people stick to their commitments — from eating better to exercising more to learning to cook, play the guitar, or speak Spanish. Our games use an innovative mix of manageable goals, social support, and financial incentives. DietBet launched in 2013, StepBet in 2016 and RunBet in 2017.

Our approach is based on behavioral science and it works. To date we’ve hosted over 700,000 paying players who have collectively lost 9 million pounds and walked 350 million miles. And we’ve paid out over $50 million to our winners.

In our games and in our work we believe that fun is the secret to sustainable success. As such we care a lot about our culture and practice what we preach by making it enjoyable, social, and rewarding.

WayBetter is the rare company with a double bottom line: we succeed when our customers do. Our mission as a company is to improve people’s lives in very real ways.
