We are seeking a Senior UI Technical 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

Strong UI/UX foundation with 3+ years of experience shipping digital products or game UI
Expert-level proficiency in Figma (components, variants, auto-layout, reusable libraries, handoff-ready documentation)
Ability to create implementation-ready documentation: annotated layouts, interaction notes, state diagrams, and acceptance criteria
Practical understanding of Unreal UI constraints and workflows
Familiarity with UMG concepts (layout, anchors, scaling, widget states/animations) enough to design within engine realities
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 an Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higher

Nice to have

Experience 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)
Accessibility/readability considerations (contrast, font sizing, couch-distance UI)
Experience working on live products with rapid iteration and frequent releases
