Quality and iteration
- Maintain strong attention to detail across UI layout, animation, and visual clarity
- Iterate based on feedback and playtesting to improve the user experience
- Help ensure UI supports accessibility and platform requirements where applicable
What we’re looking for:
- Professional experience in game UI development, demonstrated through an online portfolio

- Curiosity and willingness to learn new tools and workflows quickly
Nice to have:
