What’s in it?
As a Senior UI Artist, you will own the
visual quality of the player-facing interface across our mobile games.
Partnering with the Art Director and Senior UX Deisgner, you will set and
uphold the UI visual language, lead UI art for key features and live-service
events, and mentor other UI artists. This is a hands-on role: alongside setting
direction, you will personally design and produce a significant share of the UI
art yourself. You will work closely with Game Designers, Engineers, and 2D
Artists to turn UX flows into polished, production-ready interfaces that ship
seamlessly in Unity, while making sure the UI pipeline stays fast and scalable.
Responsibilities
· Stay hands-on: personally
design, produce, and polish UI screens, icons, and assets every sprint, not
just review and direct others.
· Lead UI art for major features,
game modes, and live-service events - menus, HUDs, buttons, icons, panels,
pop-ups, and typography - from concept to shipped.
· Translate wireframes, user
flows, and UX specifications into polished, production-ready UI, and push back
with better solutions where the design can be improved.
· Own and evolve the visual
language, brand identity, and style consistency across all game screens and
live-service content.
· Set the standard for clarity,
readability, and accessibility across devices and resolutions, with strong
command of visual hierarchy.
· Define and enforce asset
preparation standards - slicing, 9-slicing, layers, naming, and optimization -
for efficient Unity implementation.
· Partner with technical artists
and engineers to integrate UI in-engine, resolve implementation issues, and
ensure the final result matches the design.
· Build and maintain UI style
guides, component libraries, and visual documentation as the single source of
truth for the team.
· Mentor mid-level and junior UI
artists, review their work, and give clear, actionable feedback.
· Estimate UI art scope, plan
tasks with production, and deliver on schedule for live-service cadences.
Requirements
· 10+ years of professional
experience as a UI Artist, GUI Artist, or similar role in game development,
with at least 2 shipped mobile titles where you owned major UI areas.
· Outstanding portfolio showing
game UI design, iconography, typography, and layout for mobile, including
complete screens and systems you led.
· Expert-level proficiency in
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and UI prototyping/wireframing tools (e.g.,
Figma, Adobe XD).
· Solid understanding of user
experience (UX) principles, user flow, and player interaction within mobile
gaming.
· Strong understanding of
preparing and optimizing 2D UI assets for game engines, particularly Unity.
· Proven ability to define a UI
visual style, not just match one, and keep it consistent at scale across a live
game.
· Excellent communication and
leadership skills, with experience mentoring artists and bridging art and
technical implementation.
· Proactive, self-driven,
detail-oriented, and comfortable making decisions in a fast-paced live-service
environment.
Bonus
· Experience working on casual,
mid-core, social, or live-service mobile titles.
· Hands-on experience with Unity
UI (UGUI), prefabs, layout groups, and animation timelines.
· Experience creating UI
animations, transitions, and particle effects that enhance game feel and player
feedback.
· Experience with motion graphics
and UI animation using tools like Adobe After Effects.
· Familiarity with AI-assisted
ideation used responsibly to accelerate exploration while maintaining strong
artistic ownership and quality.
