Job summary

EPAM Systems, Inc. seeks a Senior UI Technical Designer to convert UX/visual direction into production-ready UI specifications and prototypes for Unreal Engine. You will define flows, interactions, and component standards to ship across platforms and inputs.

You will build a scalable UI system, author behavior rules, and collaborate with engineers and UI artists to ensure feasible, performant implementations while iterating from QA findings and playtests.

Qualifications

• Strong UI/UX foundation with 3+ years of experience shipping digital products or game UI.
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma (components, variants, auto-layout, reusable libraries, handoff-ready documentation).
• Ability to create implementation-ready documentation: annotated layouts, interaction notes, state diagrams, and acceptance criteria.
• Practical understanding of Unreal UI constraints and workflows.
• Familiarity with UMG concepts (layout, anchors, scaling, widget states/animations).
• Understanding of focus-based navigation and multi-input requirements (controller + keyboard/mouse).
• Experience designing responsive UI for multiple resolutions/aspect ratios and safe-area considerations.
• Proficiency in English at an Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higher.
• Nice to have: Unreal UI systems/conventions, localization-aware design, accessibility considerations, live product iteration.

Responsibilities

• Define UI flows, user journeys, and interaction models for in-game screens and features; produce clear, implementable specs.
• Build and maintain a scalable UI component system (patterns, components, variants, states) that supports consistent implementation.
• Author detailed behavior rules: navigation/focus order, back behavior, input handling expectations, error/empty/loading states, and edge cases.
• Collaborate daily with client engineers and UI artists to ensure designs are feasible, performant, and consistent in-engine.
• Support iteration and polish: review implementations, provide actionable feedback, and adjust designs based on technical constraints and playtest/QA findings.
