UI Artist needed at Lightfox Games, 2026
Lightfox Games is seeking a talented, creative, and engine-literate UI Artist to join our development team in Seattle. In this role, you will take full ownership of the visual design, graphic production, and engine-side implementation of user interface assets across our entire suite of game systems. The ideal candidate is a blend of a sophisticated graphic designer and a practical technical artist. You know how to translate abstract wireframes into breathtaking, crystal-clear visual assets that perfectly fit our target aesthetic.

Working cross-functionally with design and engineering, you will ensure our menus look beautiful, feel incredibly responsive, and operate flawlessly on mobile screens.
