Senior Tech UI Designer

EPAM·Ukraine·Удалённо·вчера

We are seeking a Senior Tech UI Designer to turn UX/visual direction into implementable, production-ready UI specifications and prototypes for Unreal Engine. This role bridges design and engineering by defining flows, interaction behavior, navigation rules, and component standards that ship reliably across platforms and input methods.

Responsibilities

Define UI flows, user journeys, and interaction models for in-game screens and features; produce clear, implementable specs
Build and maintain a scalable UI component system (patterns, components, variants, states) that supports consistent implementation
Author detailed behavior rules: navigation/focus order, back behavior, input handling expectations, error/empty/loading states, and edge cases
Collaborate daily with client engineers and UI artists to ensure designs are feasible, performant, and consistent in-engine
Support iteration and polish: review implementations, provide actionable feedback, and adjust designs based on technical constraints and playtest/QA findings

Requirements

3+ years of experience shipping digital products or game UI with a strong UI/UX foundation
Expertise in Figma (components, variants, auto-layout, reusable libraries, handoff-ready documentation)
Capability to create implementation-ready documentation: annotated layouts, interaction notes, state diagrams, and acceptance criteria
Understanding of Unreal UI constraints and workflows, including UMG concepts (layout, anchors, scaling, widget states/animations)
Understanding of focus-based navigation and multi-input requirements (controller + keyboard/mouse)
Experience designing responsive UI for multiple resolutions/aspect ratios and safe-area considerations
Proficiency in English at a B2+ level

Nice to have

Familiarity with UI systems/framework conventions used in Unreal (e.g., screen stacks, activatable views, common navigation patterns)
Experience with localization-aware design (string expansion, truncation rules, dynamic layouts)
Understanding of accessibility/readability considerations (contrast, font sizing, couch-distance UI)
Experience working on live products with rapid iteration and frequent releases
