• Figma Expertise & Prototyping: Create wireframes, prototypes, and high‑fidelity mockups using Figma, with the ability to iterate quickly based on feedback.
• Prototyping Animations & Interactive Designs: Design and prototype UI animations, transitions, and interactive elements to enhance engagement and usability.
• Collaboration Across Teams: Work closely with Game Designers, Developers, and Artists to ensure seamless and engaging player experiences.
• User Research & Testing: Conduct usability testing and leverage data‑driven insights to refine and optimize UI/UX designs.
• Performance Evaluation: Track UX performance over time using KPI metrics such as player engagement, retention, and conversion rates.
• Ensuring UI Consistency: Maintain consistency across different game screens and features while aligning with broader product strategy.
• Sprint Planning & Iteration: Engage actively in daily stand‑ups and iterative feedback cycles, ensuring UX solutions are adaptable and evolving.
• Implementation of UI Animations & Visual Effects: Enhance interactivity and engagement with UI animations, transitions, and motion design.

Minimum Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional experience as a UX Designer in gaming, interactive media, or related fields.
• Strong portfolio showcasing game UX/UI designs and interactive experiences with a clear emphasis on outcome‑driven design.
• Excellent UX problem‑solving skills, with a deep understanding of user‑centered design principles.
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, or similar.
• Experience in designing with metrics in mind, using tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, or A/B testing platforms to validate UX decisions.
• Ability to prototype animations & interactive designs for enhanced user engagement.
• Strong systems thinking and ability to create scalable, repeatable design solutions.
• Good visual design skills, with an understanding of typography, color theory, and layout principles.
• Self‑managing, with the ability to prioritize tasks and work autonomously in a fast‑paced environment.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in the gaming industry or designing for interactive entertainment.
