Requirements
  • 5–7+ years in product design, UX/UI, or a hybrid design-engineering role.
  • Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or similar) — you use these to build and prototype, not just explore ideas.
  • A genuine passion for vibe coding and AI-assisted prototyping; someone actively building this muscle, not just aware of it.
  • Confident in Figma for UX flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity design when required.
  • Proven AI production experience: building prompt + workflow pipelines and shipping automated or AI-assisted flows into real use.
  • Strong UI skills: visual clarity, hierarchy, attention to detail, and the ability to make prototypes feel polished.
  • Strong UX thinking: flows, structure, consistency, and edge cases — able to design connected product experiences, not just individual screens.
  • Research skills: experience contributing to discovery (interviews, JTBD, CJM), usability tests, and surveys.
  • Analytics & experiments: comfortable framing hypotheses, reading A/B-test results, and connecting UX changes to business metrics.
  • Strong written and verbal communication in English — able to align stakeholders around your solutions.
Responsibilities
  • Build interactive prototypes and design explorations using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Framer, or similar) — reaching for code as your primary creative tool.
  • Design and prototype AI-assisted product solutions (agents, copilots, generation and automation tools) together with product and engineering.
  • Build and iterate prompt → flow → result pipelines; contribute reusable prompt patterns and workflow libraries.
  • Use no-/low-code tooling (Webflow, Retool, Zapier) where possible to reduce dependency on core engineering.
  • Move prototypes to production in close collaboration with engineers, ensuring smooth handoff and feasibility.
  • Turn ideas into clear UX flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity mock-ups in Figma when needed.
  • Bring strong visual and interaction design craft to everything you build — hierarchy, clarity, motion, and micro-interactions.
  • Create partner-facing materials: product presentations, landing pages, one-pagers, and infographics for go-to-market and integrations.
  • Contribute to discovery: interviews, JTBD, surveys, CJMs, and help translate insights into product decisions.
  • Validate solutions and hypotheses through quick tests and experiments.
  • Collaborate with analytics to define success metrics and interpret experiment results.
  • Translate monetization and growth ideas into concrete prototypes, UX changes, and experiments.
  • Design and iterate flows for D2C, in-app/F2P, and LiveOps scenarios (shops, offers, bundles, events).
  • Translate business problems and partner needs into clear artifacts: flows, specs, clickable prototypes, and simple documentation.
  • Work closely with engineers to ensure feasibility and a smooth path from prototype to production.
  • Contribute to internal standards for AI-assisted workflows, UX quality, and visual consistency (without direct people-management).
Desired Qualifications
  • Strong track record of designing and shipping D2C and F2P / in-app monetization experiences (shops, checkouts, promotions, LiveOps).
  • Experience in the gaming industry or working with game developers / publishers.
  • Ability to write functional front-end code (HTML/CSS/JS/React) to build prototypes independently.
  • Deep craft in interaction design, motion, and design systems; experience contributing to or maintaining a design system.
  • Broad understanding of modern product architecture (APIs, client–server patterns, microservices, cloud).
  • Experience with no-code / low-code tools such as Webflow, Retool, Zapier, or similar.
  • Experience in a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment.
  • Familiarity with growth design principles (conversion optimisation, funnel analysis, pricing presentation).
  • Additional language skills relevant to key markets (e.g. Russian, Malay, Chinese).

Xsolla adds CLI to AI toolkit, enabling game developers to build web shops in one session

Xsolla has added command-line interface (CLI) support to its AI Toolkit, enabling game developers to set up a working web shop in one session. The CLI automates account creation, API credential generation, and webhook configuration from the command line, whilst the AI Toolkit guides developers through API integration within their existing AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor. The free toolkit validates integration paths for login, catalogue, and payments, aiming to reduce debugging rounds. It is designed for studios of all sizes, from solo developers to large teams. Xsolla, which supports over 70% of the top 100 highest-grossing games, will demonstrate the complete workflow at gamescom 2026.

Xsolla launches AI Toolkit, enabling engine-agnostic game commerce setup with AI coding tools.

Xsolla launches AI Toolkit, enabling engine-agnostic game commerce setup with AI coding tools. Game Developers Can Now Build A Fully Functional Shop On The First AI-Assisted Attempt, With Validation Built In August 4, 2026 [This unedited press release is made available courtesy of Game Developer and its partnership with notable game PR-related resource Games Press] LOS ANGELES - AUGUST 4, 2026 Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today launched Xsolla AI Toolkit, a collection of agent skills that encode correct Xsolla API integration paths directly into the AI coding tools developers already use, enabling accurate integrations on the first AI-assisted attempt. With Xsolla AI Toolkit, developers can now go from zero to a headless web shop in a single afternoon. The AI Toolkit changes how developers integrate game commerce. Headless web shops let publishers build and host their shop's frontend, giving them full control over the customization surface while relying on Xsolla's payment, catalog, and login technology. As AI coding assistants become central to game development, a common failure point has emerged: these tools generate syntactically correct code without understanding platform-specific integration constraints, often lacking the context needed to produce reliable, production-ready implementations. For commerce systems, the gap routinely results in broken implementations, production failures, and lengthy debugging cycles consuming sprint capacity. Xsolla AI Toolkit removes the translation layer between raw API documentation and correct AI-generated code, embedding validated, production-ready integration logic directly into the tools developers work in every day. Available now as SKILL.md files in a public GitHub repository (xsolla/xsolla-ai-kit) and as plugins in AI tool marketplaces, including Claude Code, Cursor (coming soon), GitHub Copilot, and Codex CLI, the Toolkit covers login, payments, catalog, and merchant setup. The AI Toolkit launches with four skill areas that enable a fully featured web shop, each delivering a complete, validated integration path: * Merchant setup: Creation of a new Xsolla Publisher Account, obtaining API credentials so that your LLM can interact with Xsolla tools * Login: Full login flow setup via Xsolla's Login API, covering the complete path, not just the happy path * Catalog: Product catalog management and display, with correct API usage patterns enforced throughout * Payments: Payment processing, full Merchant of Record capabilities, and web shop configuration, taking developers from setup to a working storefront Each skill area ships with embedded validation logic verifying integration behavior end-to-end, not just with isolated API calls, confirming the systems work under real-world conditions before deployment. The result is a measurable shift in time-to-integration: work which previously took weeks of reading documentation and debugging AI-generated code becomes an hours-long, guided build, with fewer errors and less rework. And because the skills are maintained by the teams building the APIs, they can stay current as Xsolla evolves. Installation is lightweight and developer-driven: teams install the relevant plugin into a supported AI coding environment and begin using the skills alongside existing projects immediately, with no additional setup required. "Developers using AI coding tools to integrate Xsolla have been hitting the same wall: the AI generates code that looks right but fails in production," said Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla. "Xsolla AI Toolkit removes that wall. We've encoded Xsolla's correct integration paths directly into the tools developers already use every day, so the first attempt is the right attempt, with validation built in." Xsolla AI Toolkit is built for studios of every size, from solo developers launching their first web shop to large teams managing multiple complex integrations. It serves developers who use AI coding tools as a core part of their workflow and have an Xsolla merchant setup, login, payments, catalog, and integration on their near-term roadmap. The launch reflects Xsolla's broader mission to reduce friction across the entire game commerce value chain. By meeting developers inside the AI tools they already use, Xsolla applies the same philosophy it brings to every partner: remove barriers, enable independence, and give every studio the tools to build and ship faster. Looking ahead, Xsolla AI Toolkit will pair with the Xsolla CLI to demonstrate a fully AI-assisted path from first prompt to live storefront in a single session, with the CLI handling merchant setup, including project configuration, API keys, and webhooks, while the AI Toolkit guides the integration itself.

Xsolla expands presence in private capital markets at SuperReturn International 2026.

Xsolla expands presence in private capital markets at SuperReturn International 2026. Xsolla, a global leader in video game commerce, recently announced its participation in SuperReturn International 2026, taking place June 8-12 at the InterContinental Berlin. Uniting more than 6,000 senior attendees, including 2,000+ LPs and 3,000 GPs, SuperReturn International is widely recognized as the capital of private capital with the best investment opportunities globally. The video game industry has matured into one of the largest and most resilient segments of the global entertainment economy, outpacing film and music combined, driving continuous growth through shifting market cycles. Yet the infrastructure powering how games are sold, monetized, and distributed worldwide remains under-examined by much of the institutional investment community. Xsolla's presence at SuperReturn International reflects a broader moment: the convergence of a multi-hundred-billion-dollar entertainment sector with the kind of recurring-revenue, globally-scalable commerce infrastructure that private capital has long sought in other industries. Xsolla's participation is oriented around advancing meaningful conversations: exploring high-value deal opportunities, building and deepening strategic partnerships, and strengthening brand recognition among a global financial audience through precise messaging and direct engagement. The company arrives in Berlin positioned not simply as a games company, but as a commerce infrastructure provider operating at the intersection of payments, distribution, and direct-to-consumer monetization across one of the world's fastest-evolving digital markets. "Private capital and video game commerce are more intertwined than many in the investment community realize," said Dmitri Bourkovski, Chief Investment Officer at Xsolla. "SuperReturn brings together exactly the caliber of investor and decision-maker we want to be in the room with, and we're coming to Berlin ready to have serious conversations about what Xsolla represents as a long-term commercial partner and investment-grade business." After two decades, Xsolla is continuing to build all the things for game developers and publishers navigating the complexity of global distribution. Operating across more than 200 geographies with over 1,000+ integrated payment methods, Xsolla provides the complete infrastructure developers need to launch, grow, and win in a global marketplace. The company's direct-to-consumer solutions, including its web shop platform, payment processing, and player acquisition tools, have established Xsolla as the #1 web shop provider for mobile games and a trusted partner across the global games industry. With more than 700+ successfully integrated web shops for mobile games and a payments network spanning the world's major markets, Xsolla enables players to pay online and play on device, anywhere they are. That breadth of global payments capability, a proven direct-to-consumer model, and deep integration across the video games ecosystem are precisely what position Xsolla as a compelling participant in conversations with the investors and fund managers gathering at SuperReturn International 2026.
