About GoWagr

We're building a platform that allows people to trade the news, their opinions, and the outcomes of future events—think the stock market, but for topics everyone can relate to.

Our thesis is simple: create a seamless, user-friendly experience that lets users transform their knowledge, skills, and information access into financial opportunities. Whether in politics, music, sports, or crypto, our users leverage their insights to participate in markets based on real-world outcomes.

Building cool things is challenging but incredibly fulfilling. We're looking for people who understand this and are ready to give it their best.

We also operate Squads Game: A daily fantasy sports app that lets casual and non-casual football fans wager on the stats of their favourite athlete, and win up to 100X their cash.

Role Overview

We're looking for a versatile and ambitious Designer to help shape how the world sees, understands, and interacts with GoWagr and its other ecosystem products. This role is ideal for a multi-disciplinary designer who enjoys moving across product design, marketing assets, brand visuals, motion graphics, and creative strategy. You’ll collaborate closely with product, marketing, and leadership to bring ideas to life in a way that is sharp, bold, and culturally relevant.

This isn’t a narrow design role. You’ll touch everything from the product interface to brand & graphics, to diverse aspects of design. If you enjoy being hands-on across multiple design disciplines, thrive in high-autonomy environments, and want to build something with cultural impact, this is for you.
