• Do polish passes on pre-existing interfaces and wireframes, to ensure the UI is up to our aesthetic and usability standards game-wide
• Create quick-and-dirty prototypes, perform UX tests to validate our hypotheses, and iterate based on the results
• Implement the final interface in C++ to be pixel-perfect
• Collaborate with team members across various disciplines, and be a general advocate for usability and UI consistency

• Ability to work in a clean, minimal aesthetic
• Experience working with Style Guides, and iterating based on art direction
• Proficiency in C#, C++, or C for quickly prototyping interfaces
• Experienced in industry-standard programs (ie. Illustrator, Photoshop)
• Be a self-starter, capable of wearing many hats, and ensuring projects meet their deadlines
• Understanding of, and ability to communicate, the user-centered design process

Nice to Haves:

• Illustration skills
• Experience developing multi-platform interfaces, with varying input methods (ie. touch vs. gamepad input)
• Experience with UI design/prototyping tools such as Figma
• Experience with motion design and animation (After Effects, etc.)

• Degree in Graphic Design, UI/UX, Fine Arts, or related field

We look forward to meeting you!
