  • Implement designs in Unreal Engine or comparable game engines, addressing technical challenges alongside Engineers.
  • Create motion graphics, animations, and videos to support UI concepts and in-game elements.
  • Introduce fresh ideas and stay ahead of modern design trends to elevate the UI.
  • Lead projects with independence while ensuring alignment with production and product goals.

What Will Make You A Great Fit

  • Demonstrated leadership and having shipped UI for a AAA game.
  • Expert knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator, with a portfolio that showcases outstanding UI design.
  • Proficiency in Unreal Engine using UMG, with a strong understanding of UI architecture.
  • Skilled in After Effects and Premiere for crafting animated and video-based UI assets.
  • Experience leading a team, setting clear goals, and delivering premier results.
  • Collaboration skills across art, design, and engineering teams.
  • A deep passion for gaming and the ability to craft UI that improves the player experience.
