At BallerTV, we are on a mission to connect families and communities everywhere through the unifying power of sports. To date, our AI and computer vision video technology and operations team have enabled us to be the world's most prolific producer of live sports streams. As we scale up content growth, we need to spend more time than ever creating a world-class user experience for families, coaches, athletes and fans.
We're seeking a Design Engineer to bridge the gap between design and engineering at BallerTV. We want you to join our team if you're excited to tackle design challenges, shape our core consumer experience, and build products that feel magical to athletes, parents, and coaches alike. You’ll work directly with our founders and product leads to reimagine how millions engage with live and on-demand video, highlights, and discovery across our mobile and web platforms.
🛠️ What You’ll Do

- Partner directly with founders, product, and engineering to shape product strategy and user flows.
- Conduct user research and customer interviews to uncover pain points and opportunities.
- Translate insights into intuitive, elegant interfaces that make complex experiences simple.
- Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals using Figma (or your tool of choice).
- Maintain and evolve our design system to ensure consistency and efficiency at scale.
- Collaborate with engineering to ensure high-quality implementation of designs.
- Advocate for design excellence and user empathy in every conversation.
🎯 What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years designing consumer-facing digital products, preferably mobile-first.
- Deep experience in both UX (flows, IA, usability) and UI (visual design, polish).
- A portfolio that shows strong storytelling, user-centric thinking, and an obsession with craft.
- Comfort designing for ambiguity—you thrive when solving big, undefined problems.
- A strong grasp of mobile app design patterns, prototyping tools, and usability testing.
- You love getting feedback—especially from real users—and iterating fast.
- Bonus: experience designing for video content, social discovery, and/or consumer subscription services.
