Director of Product Design

We are ARB Interactive, the team behind Modo Casino, one of the top Social+ platforms in the US. Founded in 2022, we've grown to nearly 200 team members and were named one of LinkedIn's 2025 Top 50 Startups in the United States. We move fast, think big, and love bold ideas that push boundaries (and buttons). From new rewards to fresh game mechanics, every challenge is a chance to innovate and have fun doing it. Our culture is collaborative, curious, and full of laughter because great ideas grow best between coffee, code, and a few epic high-fives.

Role Overview

The Director of Product Design leads the Product Design team and is responsible for the quality, consistency, and impact of all user experience and visual design across the Modo platform. This role oversees UI/UX designers and works closely with Product Managers and Engineering to deliver polished, player-centered experiences at pace.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will contribute to design work directly, manage and mentor designers, and establish design systems and standards. You'll set the pace and process for design across six product squads. We ship frequently, and you'll build the systems that let the team do that without sacrificing quality.
