UI Designer

Two simple questions:
- Do you want to dive head first into and take ownership of the implementation of a multi-platform AAA-quality title? To push the final product forward that will end up in the hands of millions of players?
- Have you been heavily involved in the production and release of at least one PC/Console game?
If you have answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, read on my friend!
