What You'll Do

  • Own identified parts of the game and take responsibility for ensuring your experiences meet our UX/Game Design and Artistic goals.
  • Gather and elicit requirements with Game Design and Franchise teams.
  • Work with our dedicated UX Research team to construct and document research that informs design decisions at all stages of the development cycle.

  • Lead your UX designs and work with the entire team to bring these experiences to life throughout the development lifecycle, and find pragmatic solutions when challenges arise.

What We're Looking For

  • 4+ years of professional user-centered design experience.
  • Full knowledge of the theoretical and practical UX design rules (e.g. heuristics), with evidence of application.
  • You have demonstrated the ability to use a tool such as Figma to create detailed UI specifications, including interaction design, information architecture, and important visual elements (although not a Visual Designer).
  • Experience with UX Research methodologies (e.g. personas versus segments, journey mapping versus use cases, quantitative versus qualitative) and knowledge of when to use one over another and how to reduce bias.
  • Committed to inclusive design, including accessibility.
  • You do not have to have made a video game before (personally or professionally), but do tell us if you do.

Optional Bonus Level

  • You have designed for a AAA game.
