Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for a (Senior) UI Artist to join our creative team. As a (Senior) UI Artist, you will play a key role in shaping the visual identity and user experience of our games. You will collaborate closely with designers, artists, and engineers to create intuitive, visually appealing UI that enhances gameplay and player engagement.

This role requires a mix of creativity, technical implementation, and problem-solving skills, as you will be responsible for both the creative and functional aspects of UI design, from initial mockups to final implementation in the engine. You will primarily work on an unreleased game.

This position is based in Berlin and is not suitable for candidates outside Berlin who cannot relocate.

Key Responsibilities

1. UI Art & Visual Design: Create high-quality UI assets, icons, and layouts that align with the game's artistic direction and enhance player experience.
2. UI / UX Flow: Work closely with designers to define UI behavior, information hierarchy, and player interactions, ensuring clarity and usability.
3. Prototyping & Mockups: Develop click-through prototypes to test and refine UI concepts before implementation.
4. Collaboration & Feedback: Engage in a high-feedback culture, working with designers, 3D artists, and engineers to iterate on UI elements and improve player experience.
5. Technical Implementation: Integrate UI assets into the game engine (Unity), adjusting and optimizing based on feedback and technical constraints.
6. 3D Asset Adaptation: Collaborate with 3D artists to assemble, render, and adapt 3D assets (Blender) for UI icons, marketing bundles, and in-game elements.
7. LiveOps & Theming: Contribute to seasonal updates and live operations by creating themed UI decorations and visual enhancements.
8. Problem Solving: Identify and resolve design gaps, anticipate player needs, and improve UI functionality.
9. Documentation & Planning: Assist in vision documentation, feature breakdowns, and UI planning to ensure cohesion.

Qualifications & Skills

Must Have:

1. Strong UI / UX design skills with a portfolio showcasing mobile game UI (menus, HUDs, icons, etc.).
2. Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for UI asset creation.
3. Ability to problem-solve and think critically about player experience and usability.
4. Strong communication and collaboration skills, comfortable giving and receiving feedback.
5. Experience with Unity (or other game engines) for UI implementation (adjusting layouts, animations, interactions).
6. If lacking this skill, an openness to learn is equally valuable; we will teach you what you need to know.
7. Willingness to learn basic 3D rendering (Blender) for UI asset adaptation.

Additional skills of interest include:

• Familiarity with 3D modeling/rendering (Blender) for UI icons and marketing assets.
• Experience with character art or 2D illustration for broader artistic feedback.
• Knowledge of UI animation and motion design to enhance interactivity.
• Understanding of casual mobile game aesthetics and player expectations.

Why Join Us

1. Creative Ownership: Play a key role in shaping the UI vision, working closely with Game Design and Marketing to ensure their needs are integrated.
2. Collaborative Culture: Work in a small, tight-knit team with a strong feedback-driven approach.
3. Diverse Challenges: Contribute to UI, marketing assets, and live operations, expanding your skills.
4. Impactful Work: Your designs will directly influence how players experience our games.

If you are a creative, technically skilled UI Artist who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you!
