Front End (UI) Developer
2 years ago
Our Frontend Developers get the unique opportunity to implement exceptional and ground-breaking User Interfaces, unlike any other game – Star Citizen UI lives in the game world as 3D holograms, physical screens and high-tech heads up displays. You will be working hands on to implement beautiful user interfaces and tools that support complex gameplay in a user-friendly way.
You will play a vital role bringing together the work of UI Designers, Artists, and Programmers to bring the UI to life. Imagine creating a unique looking star fighter HUD, a user-friendly interactive star map, or a complex menu for managing the player’s assets!
