Are you an experienced UI/UX Artist who thrives in live-ops environments and loves crafting polished, high-impact mobile game interfaces?

We’re hiring a UI/UX Artist to support a globally successful live mobile title, working closely with the team responsible for seasonal content and live events. This is a hands-on role focused on creating visually striking, intuitive, and scalable UI for milestone events, progression systems, and in-game offers.

About the role...

As a UI/UX Artist, you’ll focus primarily on seasonal content and live-ops updates. You’ll help deliver high-quality UI assets for events, shop surfaces, progression systems, and promotional features — ensuring the game remains fresh, clear, and visually cohesive across updates.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys fast-paced iteration, understands mobile-first UX, and can balance strong aesthetics with sustainable production workflows.

What you’ll do:

  • Design and produce UI for milestone events, chain offers, and seasonal progression system
  • Support live-ops visuals including shop screens, event switchers, pop-ups, and promotional surfaces
  • Create and polish in-game UI elements such as HUD components, icons, buttons, and overlays
  • Maintain and evolve visual consistency within an established art style
  • Prepare assets for integration and support implementation workflows
  • Add subtle UI animation and motion where it enhances clarity and player feedback
  • Collaborate closely with live-ops managers, coders, artists, and marketing teams
  • Contribute to building sustainable UI systems that scale with increasing live content

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong visual design skills with clear UI ownership experience
  • Ability to adapt to and work within an established mobile game art style
  • Proficiency with Photoshop, Animate, and Figma
  • Solid understanding of typography, iconography, layout, and hierarchy
  • Strong grasp of UX principles and user-centred design for mobile games
  • Comfortable collaborating with developers (e.g., naming conventions, config awareness)
  • Passion for mid-core mobile games and live-service design
  • Strong communication skills in a cross-functional environment

Nice to have:

  • Basic to intermediate animation skills (After Effects or Animate)
  • Experience contributing to or maintaining UI guidelines across teams
  • Experience working on live-ops-driven content cycles
  • Clear documentation practices within production workflows

Why this role:

  • Be part of a high-performing live mobile game team shipping regular seasonal content
  • Work in a fast-paced live-ops environment where your UI directly impacts player engagement
  • Contribute to scalable systems that support ongoing content growth
  • Collaborate with experienced multidisciplinary teams in a global studio

If you’re a mobile-focused UI/UX Artist who enjoys building seasonal content, iterating quickly, and creating sustainable design systems that keep players coming back, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now, or email Joe McKernan - jm@skillsearch.com

Associate Director of Games and Interactive

Our Associate Director, Joe, joins Giles in heading up our Games and Interactive division, his passion springing from being blown away by the effects in Star Wars at a young age. His love hasn’t wavered and Joe always seems to bring out a new Star Wars t shirt every dress down we have! We are lucky to have him considering that he once got stuck half way up a mountain in Borneo so now he goes for flatter holidays – most recently driving across America in a Mustang.
