Description

At Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft, we are on a mission to build a better world through the power of play.     Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.    We enable millions to create and play together, connect people across the globe, and foster a community that is among the most active and passionate in the world. Our community is global and incredibly diverse. When we are developing anything within our franchise, we keep this in mind. We want everyone to not only feel included in Minecraft, but also to see themselves in what we make. Our goal is for the Mojang Studios team to be as diverse as our community.  As a Senior Product Designer, you will define specific product needs based on user insights to ideate and define solutions to meet user needs as well as business objectives. You will create and develop design concepts and specifications that optimize the emotional and functional experience of a product, experience, device, or service. This opportunity will allow you to focus on end-to-end user experiences, empathizing and balancing experiences with business and technical tradeoffs. You will produce UI/UX designs from concept through delivery and sustainment, support interaction designs for hardware and/or software-based experiences, and partner with internal and external development teams, marketing and design groups to research and analyze customer feedback for incorporation into product enhancements, new product designs and overall design language and strategy.   You are a starter and a finisher – someone who can inspire with concepts and can shepherd a design to ship. Above all, you have design craft, whether through pixels or storytelling, you can bring an experience to life that communicates and demonstrates our products and experiences. We are a design team with great passion for delightful and fun gaming experiences. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
