• Own source file setup, naming, versioning, and optimization pipelines for engine‑ready assets.
• Work collaboratively with art leads, producers, engineers and QA in the production process from end‑to‑end and ensure all the assets meet brief requirements and adhere to technical specifications for engine implementation.
• Participate in design reviews, share best practices, support the development of templates, and documentation to improve the UI workflow and implementation processes.
• Work with production to plan workload, track deliverables, and maintain asset libraries for ongoing feature development.

Required Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience contributing to publishing consumer‑facing digital content, product launch, or entertainment property through the craft of visual communication design.
• Demonstrated ability to implement UI/2D assets in a modern game engine.
• Portfolio showing visual design fundamentals: typography, color, layout, graphic design, iconography, motion basics.
• Solid understanding of systems design for UI, screen composition, usability, and readability in games.
• Experience designing interfaces on PC and Mobile.
• Proficiency with Adobe CC visual design tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator. Figma and any modern game engine UI systems and tools.
• Strong organisational skill and ability to maintain libraries of source files, manage assets, and work within structured pipelines.
