Job description

Devoted Studios is a globally remote game development company specializing in Co-development, Porting, and End-to-End Art Production for the global gaming industry.

Our team includes world-class talents who bring deep expertise in external development, pipeline optimization, and creative problem-solving. Whether it’s porting games to new systems, enhancing gameplay features, or crafting stunning visuals, Devoted Studios operates as a trusted, flexible extension of our partners’ internal teams.

We are proud to be the development partner of choice for industry leaders such as:

• 2K
• Xbox
• Meta
• Obsidian Entertainment
• Turtle Rock Studios
• Gearbox Software

At Devoted Studios, we’re committed to making outsourcing more efficient, collaborative, and impactful. If you're passionate about co-development, game art, or solving technical challenges on a global scale.

We are looking for a Technical UI Designer who lives and breaths in Unreal Engine. This is a hands-on implementation role, building out UI features and animations from design handoff to shipped product, working in Unreal Engine daily.

Responsibilities:

• Build, implement, and polish UI features and systems using Unreal Engine, UMG, and Blueprints
• Own UI animation — motion design, transitions, reactive states, and feel — from concept through final implementation
• Collaborate closely with UX designers, UI artists, and engineers to bring features from spec to shipping
• Diagnose and resolve UI performance issues; contribute to reducing technical debt in existing systems
• Create and maintain reusable UI components and documentation that other designers can build on
• Iterate fast based on feedback from leads and QA — shipping quality on a live-service cadence

1. Professional experience implementing UI in a shipped game, using Unreal Engine (UMG + Blueprints) or equivalent engine
2. Strong animation sensibility — you understand timing, easing, and motion hierarchy, and you can build it yourself rather than hand it off
3. Experience with visual scripting languages (Blueprints, Lua, or equivalent)
4. Comfortable reading and acting on feedback from leads, UX, and QA without friction
5. Portfolio or reel demonstrating shipped UI work — implementation quality matters more than concept art

Nice to have

• Experience on a live-service title with frequent content updates
• Familiarity with view models or data-driven UI architecture
• Experience with 3D packages (Maya, 3ds Max) for asset prep
• Exposure to performance profiling and GPU/CPU cost awareness for UI
