What We Do

We design customer and user-focused experiences that are fresh and innovative while problem- solving by anticipating user behavior and hurdles. We approach the most complex of challenges and address them with simple, intuitive, and valuable solutions.

What You'll Do

  • Work on UI Systems Design, break down feature/wireframes into necessary widgets, structures, and classes; increase UI performance by ensuring best practices are followed by colleagues 
  • Ensure assets/UI are within memory and CPU constraints. Learning to profile performance and the costs of UMG/Slate/C++/and texture memory
  • Implement blueprint logic when presentation logic calls for it. Assist UI Artists where necessary in implementing special presentation behavior. Consult with UI engineers on the logic that will be in the blueprint vs native code
  • Debug blueprints/UMG issues quickly using various tools and techniques
  • Find ways to assist UX, UI Art, and UI engineering in organization, documentation, and building workflow improvements 

What we’re looking for

  • 3-6+ years of experience in building UI and experiences in game engines and across multiple platforms (mobile, web, pc, consoles) or similar transferable experience
  • 2+ years of experience shipping updates and new features to a user base on a regular cadence or similar transferable experience

  • You have an eye for pixel-perfect UI, translating and spotting various potential issues with mockups as you help see the designs into the engine
  • You are a logical problem solver and have attention to detail 
  • You can "translate" communication across departments (talk to engineering about UI Art needs, summarize technical issues, etc.), but also have empathy for non-technical team members and the ability to empower others on your team

If you have a portfolio/reel/website you'd like to share, please hyperlink it to your resume, or submit it as an attachment with your application.
