Your day-to-day will involve managing platform-specific assets and screens, optimising layouts for consistency across a variety of mobile devices, and taking ownership of font selection and style generation for a global audience. You will collaborate closely with the wider team to ensure the interface is as intuitive as it is beautiful, implementing frontend and in-game HUD systems that provide clear, satisfying player feedback.
