Magnopus is seeking a Senior UX Designer for a fixed-term, project-based engagement to support active product and XR / interactive experiences. This role is designed for an experienced UX designer who can step into work already in progress, operate independently, and contribute immediately within a fast-paced, multidisciplinary studio environment.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role with opportunities for light mentorship and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Responsibilities
- Execute UX design work across active product and XR experiences with minimal ramp-up
- Support end-to-end product UX flows, interaction design, and experience definition
- Translate high-level goals, requirements, and constraints into clear UX solutions
- Produce and maintain UX artifacts, including: User flows and journey maps, wireframes and interaction models, UX documentation supporting design and development handoff
- Collaborate closely with design leadership, product, engineering, and creative teams
- Participate in internal and client-facing design reviews as needed
- Maintain UX consistency and quality across experiences already in development
- Provide light mentorship and UX guidance to cross-disciplinary team members
- Clearly document decisions and rationale to ensure continuity beyond the contract period
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of professional UX design experience
- Strong background in product UX, including systems thinking, flows, and usability
- Experience designing interactive, immersive, or XR experiences
- Proven ability to work independently in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Comfortable stepping into projects mid-stream and making informed design decisions
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across disciplines
- Proficiency with design tools such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and related UX workflows
Even Better if You Also Have
- Experience working in XR, spatial computing, games, or emerging technology platforms
- Background in agency, consultancy, or studio environments
- Experience designing web-based experiences (responsive layouts, information architecture, interaction patterns) as part of broader product or interactive systems
- Experience supporting client-facing work
- Portfolio of relevant work is a plus, but not required

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
