• Build and maintain a scalable UI component system with patterns, components, variants, and states to enable consistent in-engine implementation
• Document detailed behavior rules for navigation/focus order, back behavior, input handling expectations, error/empty/loading states, and edge cases

• Deep understanding of focus-based navigation and multi-input requirements, including controller and keyboard/mouse
• Demonstrated experience designing responsive UI for multiple resolutions/aspect ratios and safe-area considerations
• English proficiency at B2 (Upper-Intermediate) level or higher

Nice to have

• Familiarity with UI systems/framework conventions used in Unreal, such as screen stacks, activatable views, and common navigation patterns
• Experience with localization-aware design, including string expansion, truncation rules, and dynamic layouts
• Knowledge of accessibility/readability practices such as contrast, font sizing, and couch-distance UI
