Our motive is to create innovative action games within iconic worlds where every player feels like the hero. Let's say that again - iconic worlds, where every player feels like the hero. Our passion has taken us from imagining dogfighter pilots in Star Wars™: Squadrons, to re-creating Isaac Clarke onboard the Ishimura in Dead Space™, and now to building an original Iron Man action-adventure video game.

We believe in sharing our passion with our community, and with each other by having transparent discussions, by practicing an inclusive culture, and by nurturing a continuous growth mindset. Our approach feels simple, but it leads to the best work of our careers, and as a team, building unique and immersive experiences.

As a Technical UI Designer, you will report to a Lead Technical Experience Designer and work with UX Design, Art, and Programming, and serve as a nexus for UI implementation in the game. You will work with Unreal Engine, using visual scripting to bring the art, motion graphics, and UX of the game to life at AAA standards of quality. You are comfortable taking ownership of features from concept to ship, iterating based on feedback, and advocating for best practices throughout the production cycle. Our ultimate goal is to make the player's experience as intuitive and appealing as possible.

• Proficiency in rapid prototyping to test and improve on UI concepts independently, from ideation through implementation

• Commitment to accessibility and inclusive design, with experience creating player experiences that are usable by all

• Excellent attention to detail and ability to maintain and refine features throughout the production cycle

• Collaborative mindset with an ability to work alongside engineers, scripters, UX designers, UI artists, producers, and directors

• Document features, participate in design and code reviews, and advocate for best practices

• Willingness to grow within an experienced team

Experience:

• Minimum 2 years of professional experience in game development, working within game engines on AA or AAA titles
