UX Designer

Are you an accomplished UX Designer looking for new and exciting challenges? Do you have an interest in making the complex seem simple? Do you have the drive and passion to push for new and innovative experiences for strategy gamers?

Paradox Development Studio is looking for a UX Designer to bolster its ranks. As a User Experience Designer you will be helping us ease the learning curve of deep and complex strategy games on a grand scale. You will be a challenging force that will try to innovate and push new ideas, leading to better games that are more approachable while retaining their deep gameplay. Together with other designers you will develop style guides and methods for securing a better user experience for our players.

Responsibilities

• Create mockups, wireframes, and prototypes of new interfaces, and evaluate and improve existing ones
• Coordinate with designers, programmers, and artists and make changes to both UI and gameplay mechanics if necessary
• Share input and ideas around sound effects for interfaces to the Audio Director
• Drive innovation and provide a fresh perspective to User Experience in User Interface design
• Effectively document and present your designs to the rest of the team
• Iterate on your designs in game using our in-house scripting language

Requirements

• Professional experience as a UX Designer, UI Designer, or equivalent
• Fluency in English both written and spoken
• Familiarity with and/or interest in Paradox Development Studio's games and brands

If you have experience with feedback-effects, user-testing or any kind of programming that will be beneficial, but is not a requirement.

On a personal level you are driven towards innovation and are not afraid to challenge the status-quo. You are able to inspire others by shedding new light on existing problems and coming up with new solutions. You have excellent communication skills and can easily communicate with fellow designers, programmers, and other team members. You are also very structured and able to keep style guides and other design documents up-to-date.
