WE ARE GAME MAKERS

- Engage creatively with Design and Production on new features to identify opportunities, challenges and cost.

- Direct the technical design and implementation of the game’s UI using highly supported / best-in-class patterns and UE frameworks.

- Maintain robust solutions for asynchronous asset management and integration with latent backend services (e.g. inventory, matchmaking, live telemetry) while maintaining a responsive user experience.

- Manage UI performance and memory budgets. Leverage GPU where needed to support competitive, high framerate play.

- Ensure UI implementations meet first party certification requirements.

- Build UI systems designed for global deployment – supporting dynamic text scaling, diverse font sets, complex string tables, and right-to-left languages.

- Implement comprehensive accessibility features to support inclusive UX design.

- Architect data-driven UI systems that support server-side configuration. This includes dynamic screen layouts, remote control reordering, friction reduction, and real-time promotions without requiring client patches.

- Mentor a team of UI engineers, conduct code reviews, and develop workflows to improve the efficiency of the UI/UX design team.
