We are seeking a Senior UX Technical Designer to support a AAA fighting game project in Unreal Engine 5. Senior
The role bridges UX, art, design, and engineering, helping turn UX flows, prototypes, visual designs, and interaction concepts into polished in-engine UI experiences. The project is currently moving from pre-production into production. UI art direction is semi-established and expected to evolve, so the ideal candidate should be comfortable prototyping, iterating, and helping define implementation patterns as the project matures.
Responsibilities
-
Implement UI screens, flows, widgets, animations, and interaction behaviors directly in Unreal Engine 5
-
Work with UX Designers to interpret user flows, wireframes, Figma designs, HTML prototypes, and design documentation
-
Partner with UI Engineers to create technically sound, scalable, and reusable UI structures
-
Collaborate with UI Artists to ensure assets are integrated accurately and polished in-engine
-
Prototype and refine frontend and in-match UI experiences across gameplay contexts
-
Support 2D UI implementation, including possible 3D-anchored 2D-rendered gameplay UI elements
-
Help implement expressive yet functional UI motion using UMG, Sequencer, materials, and Blueprint-driven workflows
-
Build and maintain UI prefabs, widgets, layouts, animation states, and interaction prototypes
-
Validate UI across mobile-centric and multi-platform experiences within the game ecosystem
-
Work with sound and VFX teams to align UI animations, celebratory moments, input feedback, and visual effects with the broader game style
-
Support production handoff by documenting implementation details, edge cases, interaction rules, and dependencies
-
Contribute to seasonal updates, publishing tasks, and live-service UI iteration
Requirements
-
At least 3 years of professional relevant experience in UX or UI technical design

Practical experience creating prototypes and production-ready UI assets or screens directly in-engine
-
Familiarity with Figma-based design workflows for collaboration and handoff
-
Ability to iterate quickly in a shifting creative and technical environment
