Descripción de la vacante

EPAM Systems, Inc. is seeking a Senior UI Technical Artist to define UI tech art systems, materials, and motion language across platforms in Unreal Engine.

You will build reusable templates and polished real-time effects while mentoring UI artists. You will lead technical direction for UI materials, motion, and reusable patterns, optimize shaders and textures, and collaborate with UX/UI to ensure visual consistency and performance.

Formación

• 5+ years of professional experience as a Technical Artist, UI Tech Artist, or VFX Artist with game UI/front-end exposure.
• Strong Unreal Engine 5 experience with Material Editor and Niagara for real-time VFX.
• Advanced Sequencer experience for animated transitions and cinematic camera moves.
• Expert material systems knowledge including material functions and shader logic.
• Advanced UV math skills for complex material and UI effects work.
• Strong 3D modeling skills and fluency where 3D meets UI (cameras, lighting, framing).
• Solid real-time lighting and post-process knowledge for mood and atmosphere.
• Proven performance optimization skills including profiling and content tuning.
• Strong motion design skills including timing, easing, and micro-interactions.
• Excellent collaboration skills to elevate established UX/UI designs with technical polish.

Responsabilidades

• Define the technical art direction for UI materials, motion language, and reusable patterns.
• Build highly polished and performant UI tech art solutions using materials, UMG, animation, FX, blueprints, lighting, and camera tools in UE4/5.
• Create templates, thematics, and principles that scale across the UI surface and multiple platforms.
• Design consistent visual behaviors for transitions, scale, proportion, and interactive feedback.
• Plan platform adaptation strategies that balance visual fidelity with runtime performance.
• Own UI tech art tooling, pipelines, and asset management to keep production efficient and consistent.
• Mentor UI artists and visual designers by sharing best practices and raising craft standards.
• Prototype and iterate on hover states, micro-interactions, and motion details that improve UI feel.
• Use Sequencer and related tools to deliver camera-driven UI moments and cinematic transitions.
• Optimize shaders, textures, and materials to meet performance targets without sacrificing quality.
• Partner with UX and UI design to integrate systems cleanly and maintain visual consistency.
