Lead UI/UX Designer

We are looking for an experienced Lead UI/UX Designer with broad approach to game interface development: someone who can not only design great screens, but also bring the UI to polish alongside a team of designers, artists, programmers, and game designers.

We need a leader who understands that in-game UI is not just layouts, but an integral part of the player experience, production, and technical execution.

TASKS:

• Design new interfaces for a hardcore CRPG based on a tabletop RPG system

• Design interfaces for complex game systems featuring heavy text, dense content, multiple states, actions, and consequences

• Maintain and evolve existing project interfaces

• Lead a multi-disciplinary UI team (designers, engineers, artists)

• Work in close collaboration with game designers, artists, gameplay programmers, and QA engineers

• Act as the owner of UI quality across the project

• Handle task planning, estimation, risk management, and quality control for the UI department

• Adapt interfaces for gamepad controls and cross-platform requirements

• Work with player feedback, QA, UX testing, and analytics.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Passion for creating games you genuinely want to play

• Solid gaming background on PC and consoles

• Clear understanding of the UI implementation pipeline within game engines

• Hands-on technical experience inside a game engine (layout, scripting/coding)

• High autonomy, accountability, and the drive to take ownership of features

• Team management and planning experience

• Deep understanding of core UX principles, information architecture, and user flows

• Ability to articulate and defend design decisions based on player experience, game design goals, and project business needs

• Experience designing complex, content-heavy interfaces

• Understanding of typography, information hierarchy, player actions, and systemic feedback/consequences

• Proficiency with graphic design tools

• Strong ability to collaborate with developers and account for technical constraints

• Understanding of modularity, component reusability, and performance optimization
  

• Russian language skills at B2 level are necessary due to the team’s Russian-language production pipeline and internal communication.
  

BENEFITS:

• Comfortable offices (if you want to work from office) fitted with areas for recreation and games, coffee points, and snacks;

• Convenient work schedule: adjust work time to your preferences and/or work remotely;

• Strong internal community: we are passionate about what we do. Outside of work, we engage in activities together like playing tabletop games in the office or on Roll20;

• Environment for personal growth: work together with the best professionals and enjoy the benefits of our developed mentoring system and training courses;

• Competitive salary based on the interview, opportunities for career growth.
