Senior UI Artist

Are you an experienced Senior UI Artist who loves creating polished, high-performing UI for casual and hybrid-casual mobile games?

We’re supporting a fast-growing game studio in Riyadh that’s building high-quality titles for a global audience. This role is ideal for a hands-on UI artist who can own the full UI art pipeline — from visual style and asset creation through to Unity implementation, optimisation, animation, and lightweight VFX.

About the role...

As a Senior UI Artist, you’ll work closely with UX, Unity developers, and the wider Art team to deliver beautiful, clear, and responsive UI across gameplay, meta systems, live events, and monetisation surfaces. You’ll help define and maintain a consistent visual UI style, while ensuring everything remains readable, scalable, and performance-friendly on mobile devices.

What you'll be doing:

• Create high-quality UI art for gameplay, meta systems, live events, and special offer
• Collaborate closely with UX designers, Unity developers, and artists to deliver a smooth player experience
• Maintain and evolve the game’s UI visual style, ensuring quality and consistency across all assets
• Build UI assets using both 2D and 3D workflows as needed
• Import, set up, and optimise UI assets in Unity (atlases, layouts, performance)
• Create UI animations using Unity Timeline and Spine
• Add energy and polish through lightweight UI VFX where appropriate
• Support and improve UI implementation quality across the team through best practices and guidance

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of professional game art experience, including 2+ years focused on UI art for mobile games
• Strong experience creating and implementing UI for casual or hybrid-casual mobile titles
• High proficiency in Unity UI workflows, including asset setup, atlases, optimisation, and Timeline
• Strong art fundamentals including colour, composition, hierarchy, readability, and shape language
• A portfolio demonstrating high-quality UI work and strong implementation skills
• Strong communication skills and fluent English
• A player-first mindset with strong attention to clarity, usability, and accessibility

Nice to have:

• Passion for casual and hybrid-casual mobile games
• Experience improving UI pipelines, workflows, or production processes
• Familiarity with UI VFX and lightweight motion design for mobile

What’s on offer:

• The opportunity to work on globally focused mobile titles from a growing studio in Saudi Arabia
• High ownership and real creative impact on a game’s player experience
• A collaborative environment with strong cross-discipline partnership
• A studio culture focused on quality, ambition, and long-term growth
