Senior UI Artist

Two simple questions:

• Are you an experienced UI Artist keen to define the UI art for a brand new, unannounced IP?
• Can you create dynamic compositions that use space, illustration and shape to create engaging UI layouts?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, read on my friend!

Rebellion is a leading developer and publisher of games, and is also one of Europe’s biggest independent studios operating across books, comics, TV and film. Our Sniper Elite series is renowned for its authentic stealth and sniping gameplay with more than 35 million players worldwide. The Zombie Army franchise is a spine-chilling zombie shooter, and the recently released Evil Genius 2 is a satirical spy-fi lair builder where YOU are the criminal mastermind!

And those are just the projects you know about – there are loads more!

We are looking for someone like you to become our new Senior UI Artist and join our passionate and talented UI team, where we are building on the years of success that Rebellion has enjoyed.

The Senior UI Artist is a new role dedicated to helping to define the UI art brand for a new IP in conjunction with the project lead. You will be delivering high quality illustrative assets and helping to mentor junior artists in their journey towards mastery.

You will be confident working with or without a style guide to achieve brand consistency, and be able to work illustratively and typographically across a variety of styles and genres. As part of the UI team, you will play a key role in achieving the aesthetic vision of the project and maintaining visual quality for the UI across the project.

This role would suit an experienced UI Artist who is able to complete work with little direction, who is fluent in both problem definition as well as problem solution, who can help teams solve complex multi-disciplinary issues and can share best practices with more junior team members to drive the team towards high performance.

• Use the fundamentals of UX to solve simple interaction design problems for players
• Learn to use a visual scripting toolset to implement your artwork independently. Greatly improving iteration and pushing the quality of the visual implementation.

We are actively recruiting for a diverse team and continue to develop a culture of growth and inclusion. Rebellion encourages innovation in all areas and we look forward to hearing how you can help us to be better.
