WHAT WE NEED

We’re looking for a Senior UI Artist who excels at visual hierarchy, color theory, dynamic composition, and typography to help elevate and set the standard for visual excellence in our game. You operate, innovate, and drive UI systems, establishing high-fidelity, game-ready assets while architecting scalable, future-proof UI pipelines. You’ll work closely with UX and UI Technical Designers to translate player needs into beautiful solutions that will delight and impress.

Support and drive the visual identity of the project, establishing style guides that serve to elevate the entire UI teams’ execution and alignment.

Lead Technical Integration: Optimize the asset pipeline and work directly with engine tools to support UI Tech Designers, leveraging a solid understanding of technical UI implementation standards. Solve advanced dynamic scaling, localization, and multi-platform layout challenges while strictly enforcing performance budgets, draw call optimizations, modular texture packing, and project-wide file systems.

Champion Autonomy & Workflow: Collaborate with UX design to create comprehensive UI art solutions with minimal to no supervision. Take end-to-end ownership of full features by managing complex asset pipelines, anticipating technical bottlenecks, and driving iterative design reviews.

Foster Collaboration & Communication: Partner with Leads, UI Engineers, UX Designers, and the XD Director to define technical constraints, refine workflows, and align cross-functional teams. Articulate art rationale clearly across disciplines, help drive feature reviews, and mentor peer artists to elevate the overall quality bar of the UI Art team.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT FIT

Design Mastery: Exceptional eye for core UI art principles, demonstrating expertise in visual hierarchy, color theory, dynamic composition, and typography.

Production Craft: Proven experience creating high-fidelity, production-ready UI assets, including polished HUDs, icons, and motion graphics concepts.

Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of technical UI implementation standards, including performance budgets, draw call optimizations, modular texture packing.

Pipeline Architecture: Experience managing complex asset pipelines, anticipating bottlenecks, and building scalable, future-proof UI file systems.

Mentorship & Communication: Strong ability to articulate artistic rationale across disciplines and a proven track record of mentoring junior or intermediate team members.

BENEFICIAL QUALIFICATIONS / NICE TO HAVES

Advanced proficiency working directly in game engines (e.g., Unreal Engine) and associated UI toolsets (e.g., UMG).

Strong background in motion graphics, animation, or visual effects specifically tailored to UI feedback loops and dynamic compositions.
