WHO WE ARE

We are a diverse team of developers driven by a passion for our art, united by our core values and inspired by a culture of inclusivity to build amazing games that thrill players everywhere.

WHAT WE NEED

We’re looking for a Gameplay UX Designer with a deep interest in problem solving, excellent communication skills, and a player-first mindset to join our Experience Design team. You thrive in collaborative, highly iterative environments where you balance player needs with design constraints and production realities. Working side-by-side with UI artists, technical designers, engineers, and game designers, you act as the bridge between creative vision and technical execution.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Help Drive the UX Vision: Guide conversations with cross-functional partners and take ownership of feature design against product specifications.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Shepherd UX design efforts through leadership approvals, iteration cycles, and final implementation with support from Production and Leadership.

  • Build Comprehensive Documentation: Communicate the UX vision clearly by developing competitive analyses, persona designs, user journeys, wireframes, flow diagrams, and interactive prototypes.

  • Advocate for the Player: Ensure all designs are rigorously tested and validated, prioritizing usability, accessibility, and an exceptional player experience.

  • Bridge Design and Execution: Work seamlessly alongside engineering and UI art to ensure technical feasibility and flawless execution of the user experience.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT FIT

  • Effective Communicator: Exceptional ability to present complex design ideas and rationale clearly through both written and verbal channels to varied stakeholders.

  • Design Expertise: Deep understanding of interaction and layout design.

  • Design Systems: Proven background in creating, maintaining, and extending robust design systems.

  • Tool Proficiency: High proficiency in industry standard UX tools (e.g., Figma, ProtoPie, etc.).

BENEFICIAL QUALIFICATIONS / NICE TO HAVES

  • Proficiency in motion graphics, animation, or visual effects as they relate to UI/UX feedback loops.

  • Technical Familiarity: Experience working directly in game engines (e.g., Unreal Engine, Unity, or proprietary engines), utilizing design toolsets, visual scripting, and production pipelines.

The pay range for this position in California at the start of employment is expected to be between $81,600 and $120,780 per Year.

However, base pay offered is based on market location, and may vary further depending on individualized factors for job candidates, such as job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and other objective business considerations.

Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for employees in regular roles may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or equity awards, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, provided that temporary or intern roles will not be eligible for many of these payments or benefits.
