Job description

We are seeking a UI Technical Designer to help translate UX/visual direction into implementable UI specifications and prototypes for Unreal Engine. In this role, you'll work between design and engineering, contributing to flows, interaction behavior, navigation rules, and component standards that ship across platforms and input methods.ResponsibilitiesContribute to UI flows, user journeys, and interaction models for in-game screens and features; produce clear, implementable specsHelp build and maintain a UI component system (patterns, components, variants, states) that supports consistent implementationDocument behavior rules: navigation/focus order, back behavior, input handling expectations, error/empty/loading states, and common edge casesCollaborate regularly with client engineers and UI artists to ensure designs are feasible, performant, and consistent in-engineSupport iteration and polish: review implementations, provide feedback, and adjust designs based on technical constraints and playtest/QA findingsRequirementsSolid UI/UX foundation with 2+ years of experience working on digital products or game UIConfident 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 criteriaBasic understanding of Unreal UI constraints and workflowsFamiliarity with UMG concepts (layout, anchors, scaling, widget states/animations) sufficient to design with engine realities in mindAwareness of focus-based navigation and multi-input requirements (controller + keyboard/mouse)Experience designing responsive UI for multiple resolutions/aspect ratios and safe-area considerationsProficiency in English at an Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higherNice to haveExposure to UI systems/framework conventions used in Unreal (e.g., screen stacks, activatable views, common navigation patterns)Awareness of localization-aware design (string expansion, truncation rules, dynamic layouts)Understanding of accessibility/readability considerations (contrast, font sizing, couch-distance UI)Experience working on live products with regular iteration and releasesWe offerInternational projects with top brandsWork with global teams of highly skilled, diverse peersHealthcare benefitsEmployee financial programsPaid time off and sick leaveUpskilling, reskilling and certification coursesUnlimited access to the LinkedIn Learning library and 22,000+ coursesGlobal career opportunitiesVolunteer and community involvement opportunitiesEPAM Employee GroupsAward-winning culture recognized by Glassdoor, Newsweek and LinkedIn
