Lead UX Technical Designer

We are looking for a Lead UX Technical Designer to contribute to a AAA fighting game project developed in Unreal Engine 5.

This position connects UX, art, design, and engineering, helping transform UX flows, prototypes, visual designs, and interaction concepts into refined in-engine UI experiences. The project is currently transitioning from pre-production into production. UI art direction is partially defined and expected to keep evolving, so the ideal candidate should feel comfortable prototyping, iterating, and shaping implementation patterns as the project grows.

Responsibilities

Build UI screens, flows, widgets, animations, and interaction behaviors directly inside Unreal Engine 5

Team up with UX Designers to interpret user flows, wireframes, Figma designs, HTML prototypes, and design documentation

Cooperate with UI Engineers to shape technically robust, scalable, and reusable UI structures

Work with UI Artists to guarantee assets are accurately integrated and polished within the engine

Prototype and enhance frontend and in-match UI experiences across various gameplay situations

Assist with 2D UI implementation, including potential 3D-anchored 2D-rendered gameplay UI components

Contribute to expressive yet purposeful UI motion using UMG, Sequencer, materials, and Blueprint-driven workflows

Develop and maintain UI prefabs, widgets, layouts, animation states, and interaction prototypes

Verify UI behavior across mobile-first and multi-platform experiences within the game ecosystem

Collaborate with sound and VFX teams to align UI animations, celebratory moments, input feedback, and visual effects with the overall game style

Assist with production handoff by capturing implementation details, edge cases, interaction rules, and dependencies

Support seasonal updates, publishing responsibilities, and live-service UI iteration

Requirements

No less than 5 years of hands-on professional experience in UX or UI technical design

Minimum of 1 year in a role leading and managing teams

Strong background implementing game UI in Unreal Engine

Practical experience with UMG and Blueprint-based UI workflows

Capability to convert UX flows and visual direction into functional in-engine UI

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

Ability to collaborate closely with engineering while remaining at ease with visual and experiential design considerations

Applied experience producing prototypes and production-ready UI assets or screens directly in-engine

Familiarity with Figma-based design workflows for collaboration and asset handoff

Ability to iterate quickly in an evolving creative and technical setting

Strong communication abilities and capacity to work across UX, art, engineering, design, production, VFX, and sound teams

Solid grasp of multi-platform UI constraints, especially for mobile-centric interaction patterns

Confident English communication at B2 level or higher, in both writing and speech

Nice to have

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

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

Familiarity with HTML prototypes or hybrid design-to-engine prototyping workflows

Hands-on background creating UI animations using Sequencer and materials

Awareness of supporting live updates, publishing overhead, or seasonal content delivery

Exposure to evolving design systems or adapting existing design systems to a fresh project

Familiarity with approved AI-assisted tools for prototyping, documentation, or production acceleration
