Senior UX Technical Designer

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

Strong experience implementing game UI within Unreal Engine

Hands-on background with UMG and Blueprint-based UI workflows

Ability to translate UX flows and visual direction into functional in-engine UI

Solid understanding of layout, interaction design, UI motion, animation timing, and responsive behavior

Ability to work closely with engineering while staying comfortable with visual and experiential design concerns

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

Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across UX, art, engineering, design, production, VFX, and sound

Good understanding of multi-platform UI constraints, particularly mobile-centric interaction patterns

Fluent English communication skills at a B2 level or higher, both written and verbal

Nice to have

Hands-on experience with UE5 CommonUI for scalable and platform-aware UI development

Background contributing to AAA, live-service, fighting, action, multiplayer, or competitive games

Experience working with HTML prototypes or hybrid design-to-engine prototyping workflows

Practical experience implementing UI animations using Sequencer and materials

Familiarity with supporting live updates, publishing overhead, or seasonal content delivery

Exposure to working with evolving design systems or adapting existing design systems to a new project

Awareness of approved AI-assisted tools for prototyping, documentation, or production acceleration
