À propos de Krafton Montréal
Nous sommes un studio de développement de jeux de premier plan composé de vétérans de l'industrie du jeu. Nous travaillons sur un jeu basé sur une propriété intellectuelle acclamée située dans un monde fantastique médiéval. Ce jeu AAA est une expérience RPG d'action-aventure à la troisième personne, avec un gameplay narratif et stratégique. Chez Krafton Montréal, nous croyons qu'il est important de s'amuser tout en créant des expériences mémorables, en étant fiers de notre travail et en respectant les contributions de chacun.
Description du poste
Nous recherchons un(e) Lead UI/UX Designer pour s'approprier l'expérience utilisateur et l'identité visuelle de notre projet AAA. Il s'agit d'un rôle pratique : vous établirez la direction tout en mettant vous-même la main à la pâte, en livrant des réalisations UX/UI de haute qualité aux côtés de l'équipe que vous encadrez. Vous apportez une expertise approfondie en conception centrée sur l'utilisateur, un parcours éprouvé en jeux AAA, et la capacité de relier vision créative et exécution technique.
Responsabilités principales
- Définir, s'approprier et piloter la stratégie UX du projet, en assurant une expérience joueur cohérente et intuitive.
- Définir et s'approprier l'identité visuelle de l'interface, en établissant le langage de design qui se retrouve sur chaque écran et système.
- Concevoir et produire personnellement les livrables UX/UI, incluant les wireframes, les parcours utilisateurs, les écrans haute-fidélité et les prototypes, au-delà de la simple direction.
- Collaborer étroitement avec les équipes design, artistique et technique afin d'assurer une expérience joueur cohérente de bout en bout.
- Encadrer et accompagner une équipe de concepteurs UX/UI, en favorisant des méthodes de travail solides et un savoir-faire de qualité.
- Traduire des systèmes de jeu complexes en interfaces intuitives, immersives et accessibles.
- Garantir la cohérence, la qualité et l'évolutivité des systèmes UX sur l'ensemble des plateformes.
- Piloter la création de graphismes animés avancés pour l'interface, du concept jusqu'à la finalisation.
- Superviser les pipelines de localisation, en veillant à ce que les systèmes UX/UI soient évolutifs, adaptés culturellement et accessibles à une audience internationale.
- Il s'agit d'un poste hybride flexible. Une présence au bureau d'environ deux jours par semaine est un atout, mais n'est pas obligatoire.
Compétences et expérience requises
- Minimum de 7 ans d'expérience professionnelle en conception UX/UI, avec un accent sur le développement de jeux vidéo.
- Parcours éprouvé avec au moins un titre AAA livré, incluant la responsabilité directe de l'UX et de l'identité visuelle.
- Maîtrise de Figma pour le prototypage et la conception collaborative.
- Expertise dans la suite Adobe Creative : Photoshop (textures et mises en page UI), Illustrator (iconographie, assets vectoriels), After Effects (motion design et animation d'interface).
- Solide compréhension d'Unreal Engine 5, y compris les pipelines d'implémentation UI, les workflows de shaders et l'optimisation des performances.
- Solide connaissance de la conformité TRC console et de son impact sur les décisions de conception UX.
- Expérience dans les workflows de localisation, incluant la gestion d'interfaces multilingues et l'expansion de texte.
- Compréhension approfondie de la psychologie des joueurs, de l'ergonomie et de l'accessibilité, et de la manière dont elles influencent les systèmes de design AAA et les normes de conformité.
- Excellentes compétences en communication, en leadership et en collaboration.
- Curiosité pour les technologies émergentes et les outils d'IA générative dans les processus de design, un atout.
- Vous communiquez avec assurance en français et en anglais. Le français est la principale langue de travail au sein de notre studio de Montréal, tandis que l'anglais est utilisé régulièrement avec notre siège social et nos collègues à l'international.

About Krafton Montreal
We are a leading game development studio composed of veterans of the game industry. We are working on a game based on an acclaimed intellectual property set in an enthralling medieval fantasy world. This game is an AAA third-person action-adventure RPG experience, with a rich narrative and strategic gameplay. At Krafton Montreal, we believe in having fun while creating memorable experiences, being proud of our work, and showing respect for each other's contributions.
Job Description
We're looking for a Lead UI/UX Designer to own the user experience and visual identity of our AAA project. This is a hands-on role: you'll set the direction and get into the work yourself, shipping high-quality UI/UX deliverables alongside the team you guide. You bring deep user-centered design expertise, a proven AAA track record, and the ability to bridge creative vision with technical execution.
What You'll Do
- Define, own, and drive the UX strategy for the project, ensuring a cohesive and intuitive player experience.
- Define and own the visual identity of the UI, setting the design language that carries across every screen and system.
- Personally design and produce UX/UI deliverables, including wireframes, flows, high-fidelity screens, and prototypes, rather than direction alone.
- Collaborate closely with design, art, and engineering teams to keep the player experience cohesive end to end.
- Guide and mentor a team of UX/UI designers, fostering strong workflows and design craft.
- Translate complex gameplay systems into intuitive, immersive, and accessible interfaces.
- Ensure consistency, quality, and scalability of UX systems across platforms.
- Drive the creation of advanced motion graphics for the UI, from concept through final polish.
- Oversee localization pipelines, ensuring UX/UI systems are scalable, culturally adapted, and accessible to a global audience.
- This is a flexible hybrid role. Being in the office about two days a week is a plus, but not required.
What Makes You Successful
- 7+ years of professional UX/UI design experience, with a focus on video game development.
- Proven track record of having shipped at least one AAA title, with hands-on ownership of both UX and visual identity.
- Mastery of Figma for prototyping and collaborative design.
- Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite: Photoshop (UI textures and layouts), Illustrator (iconography, vector assets), and After Effects (motion design and UI animation).
- Strong understanding of Unreal Engine 5, including UI implementation pipelines, shader workflows, and performance optimization.
- Solid knowledge of console TRC compliance and its impact on UX design decisions.
- Experience with localization workflows including multi-language UI and text expansion.
- Deep understanding of player psychology, usability, and accessibility, and how they inform AAA design systems and compliance standards.
- Exceptional communication, leadership, and collaboration skills.
- Curiosity about emerging technologies and generative AI tools in design workflows is a plus.
- You communicate confidently in both French and English. French is the primary working language within our Montreal studio, while English is used regularly with our headquarters and international colleagues.
