- Design from first principles, deeply understanding the game genre, analyzing competitive references, and collaborating with UX Research to uncover player needs and motivations.
- Use insights to ground your design decisions in evidence and empathy.
- Create experiences that are intuitive, accessible, and can be implemented across a variety of platforms.
- Identify weak points in designs, gaps in thinking, and opportunities to better deliver on our goals by applying critical thinking and a sharp design eye to strengthen solutions
- Champion UX excellence through craft, delivering clear, consistent, and elegant design solutions that enhance usability and player delight — while balancing technical, gameplay constraints.
- Collaborate across disciplines, partnering closely with Game Designers, Product Managers, UI Artists, and Engineers when designing features and ensuring successful implementation.
- Elevate the team, mentoring and supporting junior designers as the UX discipline takes shape, and introducing processes, tools, and standards that scale with the team's growth.
What we’re looking for:
- 8+ years of UX experience, particularly in mobile and free-to-play gaming.
- Multiple shipped titles to showcase your craft, with clearly articulated contributions.
- Broad application of UX design, moving beyond interface screens and thinking of holistic player experiences.
- Strong understanding of game development pipelines, technical constraints, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
- Comfort navigating ambiguity — able to proactively define problems, propose solutions, and move work forward in uncharted territory.
- A culture fit grounded in curiosity, creativity, and teamwork – and big ambitions to build for a massive audience.
