Senior UI/UX Designer in Oxford

We want you to JOIN THE BELLION! For 30 years we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd. We are seeking a Senior UI/UX Designer to join our dynamic UI/UX team, where you will have the chance to influence a variety of exciting, yet-to-be-announced projects.

Your job will be to solve complex UX problems for a new project. You will work with game designers and UI artists to create intuitive UI designs, helping to implement these in game using a visual scripting tool set. You will be skilled with wireframing and prototyping tools and be comfortable using a UX methodology to both define and solve player problems. You will be comfortable working to an existing style guide and be able to translate your ideas into high-fidelity art targets using the Adobe suite. As part of the UI team, you will play a key role in implementing efficient, complex, and beautiful UI, working with multiple disciplines with different experiences and walks of life.
