 The Role

We are seeking a creative and technical Senior UI Artist to define the visual gateway for one of our new immersive cloud-based game titles. In this pivotal role, you will collaborate with a diverse team of artists, designers, and engineers to transform UX wireframes into stunning, production-ready assets, from intricate HUDs to sleek menu systems, while maintaining a cohesive visual style. You’ll do more than just design - you will be the architect of your art, integrating assets directly into the engine (Unity), managing optimizations for performance, and ensuring a seamless player experience.
 

If you are passionate about blending high-fidelity artistry with technical implementation and are eager to make a significant, tangible impact on global franchises in an inclusive and supportive environment, we would love to see the incredible things you can create with us!

Responsibilities:

• Create high-quality UI assets (buttons, icons, menus, HUD elements, notifications, overlays, etc.) consistent with the project’s visual style and art direction

• Translate UX-provided mockups, wireframes, and flow diagrams into polished, production-ready UI visuals

• Collaborate closely with Art Directors, UX Designers, and Game Designers to ensure UI visuals support gameplay clarity and usability

• Produce scalable, optimized, and engine-ready UI graphics suitable for various resolutions and platforms

• Maintain and extend the project’s UI style guide, ensuring visual consistency across all UI elements

• Implement and integrate UI assets directly into the game engine (e.g., Unity, Unreal), including setting up widgets, states, animations, and layouts

• Create and manage UI materials, textures, atlases, and prefabs/blueprints to ensure efficient runtime performance

• Troubleshoot and resolve visual or implementation issues related to UI assets in-engine

• Work with engineers to ensure UI features function as intended and support iteration during development

• Maintain organized asset libraries and documentation while helping improve UI art workflows

Skills and Abilities:

• Experience with Figma, Photoshop, and Unity

• Ability to create high-quality final art, understanding technical constraints, and asset optimization 

• Understanding visual design and interaction rules, and are passionate about typography and iconography

• Experience in animation, motion design, and VFX

• Solid knowledge of UX design and the ability to holistically visualize the game

• Proactivity in giving and receiving feedback

• Passion for mentorship and helping team members thrive

Experience:

• Proven experience in creating UI for mobile games, or (AAA) console games 

• Experience working in a full production environment and releasing successful games

• Experience working with diverse styles, particularly stylized environments

We aim high here at Next Games and will ask you to do the same. In exchange, you’ll be part of a team that is great to work with, who are dedicated and passionate about what we do. 

Our guiding light in growing our team is that we don’t look for a culture fit — we look for what each person brings to our collective skillset, culture, and values to make them richer. Will you be the person to make us better?
