Create the Fantastic Future
Oasis is a synthetic video chat mobile app where you talk through a AI-generated avatar that looks like a real person & mirrors everything you do in real-time.
Your avatar could be you. Your avatar could be someone else. You avatar could be a custom-designed human face generated by a GAN. Call it deepfake. Call it sci fi come to life. Call it whatever you want.

In the Oasis, you exist as a pure personality. No one knows what you look or sound like. You have can video chat with complete privacy. You cannot be judged based on your appearance or voice, just your ideas & personality. Skin color, gender, good looks, weight, race, age –– all of it is a computer-generated fiction and none of it matters.
People come to the Oasis for all the things they can do, but they stay because of all the things they can be. Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex, a different species, live-action, cartoon. It’s all your call.-Ready Player One
Design the Unforgettable
We are hiring a Game Designer to lead design at Oasis. This is a collaborative founder-level role, not a junior job. You will be employee #7, working directly with the founders alongside a team of distinguished engineers, entrepreneurs & AI researchers.
Your job is to use the world's most advanced simulation technologies to design the world's most unforgettable, most compelling social game. At Oasis, we believe that life is a game. TikTok is as much a game as it is a social network as it is MTV for Gen Z. To us, the distinction between "game design" and social app design is not meaningful.
The ideal candidate is an experienced free-to-play game designer, gaming founder or social network founder with who understands the importance of designing products in a way that simultaneously meet the needs of the players and the needs of the game (or network). You must possess knowledge of all aspects of game design, from economy design to UI design to user flows to usability testing to user research to funnel analysis.
You will report directly to the CEO (product owner), ideating & executing new concepts together in a rapid, experimental manner. Eventually, you will build a design team around you.
Responsibilities
Design unforgettable, inherently viral social games & experiences
Analyze user data & use it to inform your designs
Oversee user research & usability testing
Collaborate directly with CEO on product design & UX
Experiment a lot (and quickly)
Requirements
Lead designer or founder of a video game (or social network)
Ability to think at both the level of the system/economy and the level of the individual/player
Owner mentality
Growth mindset
Nice to Haves
Interest in AI & blockchain technologies
To start, you will be the only full-time designer at Oasis. You will be asked to weigh in on engineering as well as product & business decisions. You will work directly with the founders and be expected contribute product ideas & quickly implement them. Your do-whatever-it-takes attitude & practical demeanor will set an example for the entire company. Plan to build a design team from scratch as the company scales.
Compensation
Cash: $140 - 200k
Equity: 1 - 3%
Location: Remote within North America
Vacation: Unlimited, minimum 2 weeks per year
Benefits: Health & dental insurance, ~100% paid for by the company
The #1 thing we look for in candidates is intellectual fearlessness, evidence that you've done things that your resume says you shouldn't be able to do, things that would scare normal people from even trying.
On a Mission to Advance Human Communication
We aim, ultimately, to advance human communication beyond all of today's limitations and create a new form of democratic social organization in the cloud. Our success will be an evolutionary event for the human species, a byproduct of which will be immense wealth creation.
Our immediate goal is to create the world's fastest growing social game.
Oasis is backed by $7M+ from some of the most famous investors in Silicon Valley, including Naval, Cyan Banister, Matt Ocko, Leo Polovets, Founders Fund, the first investors in Skype & Zoom, the founder of Netflix, the founder of Black Lives Matter and various Midas Listers.
What we do touches so deeply at questions of identity. As such, we treat diversity & inclusion––gender, age, class, politics, ethnicity––as a strategic imperative. We are a heterogenous set of idealists, not ideologues.
Oasis was founded in 2019 as a remote-first company. Twice a year, we shut the entire company down and force everyone to take a 10-day vacation. Before the plague––and hopefully again soon––we got together in person at a travel destination (e.g. Jackson Hole) every ~6 weeks for 3-5 days at a time.
Expect intense creativity & a helluva good time along with high standards, hard work and minimal stupidity.
The only "press" coverage on Oasis that exists is this episode of the My First Million podcast, where ––unbeknownst to us––investors discuss the company.
