The Role

We are looking for a UX/UI Designer specializing in game UI localization to help adapt [REDACTED] games for players across multiple languages and regions.

This role focuses on making existing interfaces localization-ready and implementing localized content without compromising clarity, usability, visual quality, or performance. You will work across [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] to identify localization risks, adapt layouts and components for translated content, implement approved translations, and verify the final experience in game builds.

You will collaborate closely with UI/UX designers, engineers, technical artists, producers, QA, Content Operations, and localization partners. This is a hands-on production role for a designer who is comfortable owning localization work from design audit through implementation and visual QA.

What You'll Do

  • Audit UI for Localization Readiness: Review game screens, flows, and components to identify hardcoded text, embedded text in images, fixed-size containers, truncation risks, unsupported characters, and other localization blockers.
  • Adapt Layouts for Translated Content: Update [REDACTED] layouts and UI components to support text expansion, wrapping, dynamic sizing, different line heights, and script-specific typography while preserving hierarchy and readability.
  • Maintain Visual Quality Across Locales: Adjust spacing, alignment, typography, icon placement, and responsive behavior for each target language without changing the approved meaning of translations.
  • Prepare Localization-Ready Assets: Separate text from artwork, create language-neutral assets, and produce localized visual variants only when text or culturally specific content must be embedded.
  • Improve Localization Standards: Contribute reusable components, checklists, templates, and design-system guidance that make future game localization faster and more reliable.

What We're Looking For

  • Relevant Experience: Professional UI design or game UI production experience, with hands-on involvement in localization, internationalization, or multilingual product delivery.
  • Strong UI Craft: A portfolio demonstrating polished interface layouts, typography, visual hierarchy, reusable components, and production-ready asset creation.
  • Localization-Aware Design: Practical understanding of text expansion, dynamic layouts, wrapping and truncation rules, font fallback, CJK typography, locale-specific formatting, and culturally sensitive visuals.
  • [REDACTED] Proficiency: Advanced experience with Auto Layout, components, variants, constraints, design systems, and efficient production workflows.
  • Quality Mindset: Strong attention to detail and the ability to systematically find, document, and verify visual defects across multiple languages and screen states.
  • Cross-Functional Communication: Ability to communicate clearly with designers, engineers, QA, producers, and localization partners, especially when balancing visual quality, technical constraints, and deadlines.

We Offer

  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Flexible working hours and vacation policy.
  • Product-driven culture that treasures talents and individual growth.
  • Front-row seat and hands-on experience with cutting edge technologies in the evolving gaming field
