Responsibilities

• Own the visual design and production of UI assets across game systems, working off of an established style
• Collaborate with UX designers, game designers, and engineers to translate wireframes and feature specs into polished, implementation-ready assets
• Create shared UI libraries that allow for faster and more performant implementation of new features
• Create and iterate rapidly on UI based on playtests and stakeholder feedback

Requirements

• 5+ years of UI art experience in games, with at least one shipped mobile title
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both high-quality UI craft and the ability to work across a range of styles and screen contexts
• Deep proficiency in Photoshop and/or Illustrator; comfortable working in Figma for mockups and handoff
• Hands-on experience working directly in Unity, with a deep understanding of prefabs, canvas systems, asset atlasing, and UI animation workflows
• Experience designing for live ops, including event storefronts, battle passes, or limited-time content flows
• Solid understanding of mobile UI constraints: aspect ratios, touch target sizing, performance budgets

Nice to Have

• Experience on a title with ongoing live ops post-launch
• Experience building or maintaining a UI component/design system from early stage
• Comfort working in a small team where roles overlap and ownership is broad

Compensation

CA$85,000 – CA$115,000 depending on experience, plus health/vision/dental coverage, RRSP matching, and equity.
