Job Description

As a UX Technical Designer you will act as a generalist who bridges the gap between UX, systems, and technical implementation. You will empower UX Designers, UX Artists, Engineers, and game teams by developing robust tools, frameworks, and systems that make player experiences feel intuitive, polished, and performant.

To thrive in this role we think you have experience working with Unreal Engine and UI frameworks, strong C++ foundations, and a genuine curiosity about what makes game interactions feel intuitive. The bar for UX in games is rising, and we're pushing to stay ahead of the curve. Join us and help shape what comes next!
