Role Overview

As our UI/UX Manager, you will own the full design and delivery of game UI systems for AAA FPS titles. This is a leadership role — you will drive the complete UI/UX pipeline, from information architecture and user flow definition through to final visual delivery of production-ready assets. You are expected to think in systems, not just screens: designing complete HUD logic, weapon customization interfaces, shop and monetization flows, social systems, season pass progression, settings menus, and cross-platform adaptations.

 

As the first dedicated UIUX hire on the team, you will build this capability from the ground up and have the opportunity to grow it into a full UIUX team as demand scales.

 

Key Responsibilities

UI/UX System Design

•       Design end-to-end UI systems for AAA FPS games: HUD, weapon customization, loadout management, shop/monetization, social/party systems, season pass, settings, and onboarding flows.

•       Create complete UI architecture documentation: screen maps, user flow diagrams, wireframes, interaction specifications, and state logic.

•       Design responsive UI layouts that work across PC, console, and mobile platforms.

•       Define visual design systems: component libraries, icon sets, typography rules, color systems, animation specifications, and spacing guidelines.

•       Ensure UI designs are technically feasible within Unreal Engine 5 UI frameworks (UMG/Slate).

 

Production & Delivery

•       Produce production-ready UI assets and specifications for client development teams.

•       Collaborate with Art Directors and game designers through structured review cycles, iterating based on feedback.

•       Work with 2D concept artists to ensure character/weapon UI elements (portraits, icons, rarity frames) align with the overall visual system.

•       Deliver organized, annotated design files with redline specifications, interaction notes, and edge-case documentation.

 

Leadership & Process

•       Build the team's UIUX capability from the ground up — establish workflows, quality standards, and delivery templates.

•       Define and maintain a reusable UI component library for FPS game projects.

•       As demand grows, recruit and mentor junior UI designers to build a dedicated UIUX team.

•       Stay current with FPS game UI trends, competitive analysis, and platform-specific design guidelines.

Technical Requirements

Experience

•       5+ years of professional experience in game UI/UX design, with at least 3 years in a lead or manager-level role.

•       At least 1 shipped AAA FPS/TPS title where you owned or co-owned the UI system design (verifiable in game credits).

•       Professional portfolio demonstrating FPS/shooter game UI work with system-level thinking (ArtStation, Behance, or personal site); mandatory for application.

 

Software

•       Figma and/or Sketch (expert proficiency; interactive prototypes and design system libraries)

•       Unreal Engine 5 UMG/Slate (understanding of real-time UI constraints; hands-on implementation experience is a strong plus)

 

Design Expertise

•       Proven ability to design complete UI systems from scratch — full information architecture, user flows, and component systems, not just individual screens.

•       Deep understanding of FPS game UI patterns: combat HUD, weapon modification interfaces, inventory systems, matchmaking flows, social features, and live-service content (season pass, battle pass, events).

•       Strong visual design skills: clean, modern UI aesthetics appropriate for realistic military/tactical FPS games.

 

Soft Skills & Management

•       Systems Thinking: Ability to see the full interaction model across an entire game, not just isolated screens.

•       Leadership: Experience managing designers, establishing standards, and building team workflows from scratch.

•       Feedback Integration: Able to receive creative direction from multiple stakeholders and translate it into structured, deliverable-ready design documentation.

•       Communication: Ability to read and write in English for daily communication with international teams and clients.

 

Preferred Qualifications

•       Previous experience working with major international game studios on FPS UI pipelines.

•       Experience designing cross-platform UI (PC + console + mobile) with adaptive layouts.

•       Motion design skills — ability to spec UI animations, transitions, and micro-interactions.

•       Team management experience: hiring, mentoring, and workflow design for UI teams.

•       Knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design for game interfaces.

•       Mandarin Chinese language ability (for direct Art Director communication).
