• Design and implement UI systems including HUDs, menus and in‑world interfaces using Unreal Engine UMG
• Create wireframes, UI layouts and high‑quality visual assets including icons, panels and interactive elements
• Build and configure Widget Blueprints, layouts, data bindings and interaction logic directly in engine
• Define and maintain the UI visual language in collaboration with art direction
• Design modular UI components that support player customisation and scalability
• Ensure UI performance, resolution independence and localisation readiness
• Collaborate with design and engineering to translate gameplay systems into clear, usable interfaces
• Work with VFX and audio to integrate responsive feedback into UI interactions
• Build and maintain a reusable component library with clear documentation and specifications
• Conduct playtests and iterate on UI based on player feedback and usability testing

• Strong experience building UI in Unreal Engine using UMG
• Deep understanding of information hierarchy and UI composition for games

Nice to have

• Experience developing UI for MMO or live‑service games
• Familiarity with Unreal Engine Common UI plugin
• Experience with diegetic or in‑world UI design approaches
• Motion design skills for UI animations and transitions

Working style / behaviours

• Highly autonomous with strong ownership of features
• Comfortable working in early‑stage, evolving environments

• Collaborative and communicative across disciplines
• Iterative mindset focused on testing and continuous improvement

Why join
