The Octalysis Group is looking for UI/UX Designers
The Octalysis Group is looking for UI/UX Designers who have an understanding of the Octalysis Framework.
We are looking for UI/UX designers who can take an existing Brainstorming and Battleplan and visually make it come to life.
This is step 5 of the 5-Step Octalysis Design, Wireframing.
With a tight deadline of three weeks, March 28, we already shared this Challenge within our premium Octalysis Prime community.
Now, we are opening up to the entire public to participate.
⚡ Speed Run Notes
- Good hiring posts reveal what the company actually values, intentionally or not. Every job post is a signal about culture. Companies that list “motivated team player” reveal that they can't distinguish signal from noise. Companies that list specific skills, projects, and philosophies attract candidates who match their real needs.
- The Octalysis Group looking for UI/UX designers specifically is a statement about where the framework is heading. Framework + design hire = applied products are the priority. The hire is strategic: they're not looking to think about gamification, they're looking to ship it. That's a meaningful signal to the market.
- CD1 (Epic Meaning) in a job post is what attracts top-tier talent. The best designers can work anywhere. They pick based on mission. A job post that leads with mission wins candidates a job post that leads with salary can't reach. This is why mission-driven companies punch above their weight in hiring.
- The best hiring filter is a small take-home project, not an interview panel. Interviews reward talkers. Take-home projects reward doers. Communities built on doers outperform communities built on talkers across every meaningful metric.
- The deepest insight: every hire is a bet on the next decade. A bad hire costs 2 years; a great hire returns 10. The cost of over-investing in the interview process is tiny compared to the cost of a bad match. Hiring well is a career-long discipline, not a task.
About the Creator of the Octalysis Framework
Yu-kai Chou created the Octalysis Framework after studying gamification since 2003 — years before the term entered mainstream vocabulary. As a Human-Systems Architect & Behavioral Designer, his framework has been applied by LEGO, Microsoft, Porsche, Coca-Cola, Salesforce, and MrBeast, impacting over 1.5 Billion Users.
Chou has taught the Octalysis methodology at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Tesla, Google, BCG, and IDEO.
His work has been cited by Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Wired, US Department of Energy, NIST, NSF, NCBI, US Department of Education, ClinicalTrials.gov, and 3,700+ more academic publications. Explore his books here.
The Opportunity
If you are hired, you would work under a senior TOG specialist, getting information on which screens to be done and executing these.
All the while working with the general principles of Octalysis in these screens — including Core Drive 3: Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback. You’ll be working with Figma to deliver high fidelity wireframes at a high pace.
This challenge is based on an Octalysis Group project done for BitDegree, the world’s first blockchain-powered online education platform.

Most ‘Massive Open Online Courses’ have a 10-16% completion rate.
After the design of the Octalysis Group (by Joris and Sabrina) was implemented, BitDegree now has a 50% completion rate, a 400% increase in course completion in 3 months.
It is up to you to try and improve upon an already good design.
To maximize your chances, we recommend taking advantage of the full resources that Octalysis Prime has to offer, as well as access to our Exclusive Slack Community where participants can discuss together and ask questions — a powerful application of Core Drive 5: Social Influence & Relatedness.
