Contract UI Designer Video Games

The Role

We’re looking for a UI/UX Designer who can combine strong visual design skills with player-first thinking to craft intuitive, immersive, and visually striking user interfaces.

This role sits at the intersection of design, art, and gameplay. You’ll be responsible for both the user experience (flow, usability, clarity) and the visual execution (layout, motion, style) of in-game UI, helping ensure players can seamlessly engage with our worlds without breaking immersion.

What You’ll Do

• Design intuitive and engaging user experiences that improve player engagement and ease of use, including player flows, wireframes, and interaction models
• Prototype UI/UX solutions to test usability and player experience
• Ensure UI readability, accessibility, and responsiveness across platforms
• Create high-quality UI visuals that align with the game’s tone, style, and horror atmosphere
• Design clear and effective icons, symbols, and visual indicators to help players understand game mechanics, objectives, and feedback
• Own the design of complex, high-impact UI systems such as HUD, inventory management, and other in-game interfaces
• Drive the UI design workflow from wireframing and prototyping to creating art assets and supporting in implementation
• Work closely with game designers, technical designers, and other team members to ensure that the UI/UX design is in harmony with the overall vision and mechanics of the game
• Create and maintain UI style guides, component libraries, and documentation

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in UI/UX design or UI art for games or interactive media
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking and high-quality visual UI work
• Experience designing for games, including HUDs, menus, and interactive systems
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar
• Understanding of usability, player psychology, and interaction design principles
• Experience implementing UI in Unreal Engine UMG
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines
• Detail-oriented with a strong sense of visual hierarchy, typography, and layout
• Motion design or UI animation skills

Nice to Have

• Experience working on horror or atmospheric games
• Familiarity with Blueprints in Unreal Engine
• Basic scripting or technical implementation knowledge
• Experience with live games or iterative UX improvements based on player feedback
• Understanding of accessibility standards in games

Why Join Us

You'll help shape the future of one of horror's most recognizable franchises while working with a passionate, collaborative team that values creativity, speed, craftsmanship, and bold ideas. Your work will directly influence the look, feel, and emotional impact of millions of players' experiences.
