Electronic Arts creates next-level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. Here, everyone is part of the story. Part of a community that connects across the globe. A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.

At EA, we believe games are powerful because they bring together multiple ways people engage: play, watch, create, and connect. Increasingly, the biggest entertainment platforms aren't just places to consume content—they're places where communities build. Creator-made content is a proven part of EA's history, from community creation tools in Battlefield to The Gallery in The Sims 4. We believe new creative technologies will expand how players engage with our experiences, supported by thoughtful product design, robust systems, and global reach. Our focus is on enabling more players to participate in creative expression by making creation easier, safer, and more rewarding.

We are looking for an exceptional Game UI Designer to redefine and elevate the visual identity of our game. In this role, you will not just skin wireframes: you will be the aesthetic catalyst who audits our current game, reimagines its look and feel, and establishes a bold, modern visual language that meets the highest global standards of contemporary gaming. Working closely with the Head of Design, Game designers and Product Designers, you will turn functional interfaces into stylish, immersive, and visually stunning experiences that captivate a worldwide audience.
