Required Skills and Experience

  • At least 2 shipped projects while in a consultant or contract role, demonstrating the ability to self-manage and deliver high-quality work within existing pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of Unity’s UI system, including Canvas hierarchies, RectTransform anchoring, layout groups, masking, scroll views, and prefab workflows.

  • Ability to import, organize, and integrate 2D art assets (icons, backgrounds, characters, etc.) into Unity projects with correct compression, pivot points, and layer sorting.
  • Working knowledge of visual feedback and player communication patterns — e.g. button states, indicators, progress bars, prompts, and call-to-action clarity.
  • Attention to detail and consistency in UI visual language, ensuring alignment with the art direction and overall game design.
  • Comfort collaborating with designers, engineers, and artists, interpreting intent into functional UI without requiring code.
  • Proficiency with standard game development workflows (version control systems like Git, Unity project organization, prefab variant usage).
  • Clear communication and documentation skills for handoff and iteration within remote or hybrid teams.
