Hi there! Thanks for your interest in joining Stencil VR.
About Stencil VR
Stencil VR (stencilvr.com) is a mixed-reality app for the Meta Quest that’s changing how artists create. Our tool lets anyone turn their digital designs into a scalable, projected stencil they can trace onto any physical surface.
Our app has become a game-changer for professional muralists, who use it to project and trace complex, large-scale designs in a fraction of the time. We've built a passionate, fast-growing community of artists, crafters, and creators who genuinely love the tool and are constantly discovering new ways to use it.
The Role
We are looking for a senior XR Designer to help define the next evolution of the Stencil user experience.
For 2026, we are planning a major refresh of our core UX/UI to improve the app's intuitiveness, support new features, and expand to upcoming platforms. We need a designer who can create intuitive, spatial interactions and workflows that feel natural and are easy to pick up, even for non-technical users with no prior XR experience.
Key Job Details
- Role: Senior XR Designer (Contract)
- Pay: $80 USD / hour
- Hours: 20-40 hours per week
- Location: Remote
- Duration: Ongoing. We expect an initial 2–3 month engagement, with the potential to extend based on project roadmap and fit.
- What You'll Be DoingReimagine the UX: Audit the current Stencil UX and propose a refreshed vision for the app’s navigation, tools, and interaction model that aligns with our product goals.
- Solve Unique Design Challenges: You won't just be applying existing UI kits. We need you to think from scratch to devise novel, creative interaction models tailored to our users that make the technology feel invisible.
- Prototyping & Visualization: Create user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes (using Figma, ShapesXR, Spline, or similar tools) to clearly communicate your design vision.
- Cross-Platform Strategy: Help adapt the experience for future platforms (such as Android XR), ensuring the design system scales effectively across different hardware capabilities.
What We're Looking For
- A Strong XR Portfolio: Examples of shipped XR projects or high-quality prototypes that demonstrate expertise in intuitive spatial design.
- Tool Proficiency: Proficiency with Figma and XR prototyping tools like ShapesXR or Spline.
- Technical Understanding: You understand the capabilities of XR devices and can use that understanding to help drive design ideas.
- Iterative Mindset: You are receptive to feedback and comfortable with an iterative design process where we refine ideas together.
- Passion for Creators: You care about building tools that actually help people create. You value utility and clarity over flashiness.
Bonus Points (Not Required)
- Unity and XR development experience.
- You have a personal connection to the art world (you're an artist, muralist, crafter, or a fan).
