As a Senior UX/UI Designer at BallerTV, you'll lead end-to-end design for consumer experiences, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and create intuitive interfaces, focusing on user research and crafting high-fidelity visuals.
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.

- 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.

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.
