## About the Role

+ Shipped at least one commercial game with visible, personal ownership over UX/UI
 + A portfolio showing both design thinking and actual in-engine implementation - not just Figma comps (we are looking for people who can create beautiful, intentional works of art , not just functional interfaces)
 + Solid grasp of animation/motion principles (easing, timing, anticipation, follow-through) applied to interface and feedback design
 + Comfortable in Figma/Adobe XD (or similar) for high-fidelity mockups, and able to translate those faithfully into engine without losing intent
 + Real understanding of "juice" and feedback-loop design: why small delays, overshoots, and particle bursts make actions feel satisfying
 + Demonstrated self-direction: has taken ambiguous creative direction and driven it to a finished, polished state without heavy supervision
 + Strong fundamentals in typography, color theory, layout, and visual hierarchy
 + Experience coordinating visual polish with audio and haptic feedback

## Description

+ Own the end-to-end UX/UI vision, from high-level art direction, mood, and tone down to final polish in Unity
 + Design and implement UI systems: HUD, menus, onboarding, settings, with equal weight on usability and feel and a judiciousness of design
 + Craft "game feel": micro-interactions, transitions, easing curves, screen shake, particle timing, and sound/haptic sync that make interactions feel alive
 + Build and maintain a cohesive visual design system (typography, color, iconography, spacing, motion language) and keep it consistent across iterations
 + Prototype and iterate rapidly and independently; take a one-line brief or a rough sketch and turn it into a shippable, polished result with minimal oversight
 + Collaborate tightly with engineer and design on a small team of 3-5 folks
 + Balance accessibility (colorblind modes, readability, input-method parity across controller/KBM/touch) against aesthetic ambition
 + Build reusable UI components/prototyping tools so other team members can extend the system without breaking its integrity, + Strong hands-on Unity skills: UGUI and/or UI Toolkit, Animator/Timeline, basic Shader Graph, and enough C# to implement and iterate on UI logic themselves
 + Shader/VFX authoring for UI (glows, distortions, dissolve/transition effects, Shader Graph node work)
 + Tools programming (has built custom Unity editor tools to speed up UI iteration for a team)
 + Accessibility specialization (colorblind-safe palettes, subtitle/caption systems, adaptive UI scaling)
 + UX research chops - user testing, session recordings, analytics-informed iteration
 + Motion graphics background (After Effects) used to prototype transitions before engine implementation
 + A shipped title specifically praised for its UI/UX polish
