The Role
As a Senior UI Game Artist, you will be the visual anchor of a small, agile team.

- End-to-End Production: Create high-quality assets from initial sketches to final in-engine implementation.
- Motion & VFX: Design and implement fluid UI animations, transitions, and visual effects that enhance player feedback.
- UX Advocacy: Collaborate with Producers and Designers to refine screen flows and features, placing the user experience at the heart of every decision.
- Mentorship: Provide actionable feedback and guidance to junior artists, fostering a culture of growth and high standards.
- Innovation: Work with Technical Artists to integrate AI tools and new technologies into the art pipeline to boost efficiency.
Your Profile
- Experience: 5+ years in UI-focused roles specifically within the casual puzzle or F2P mobile gaming space.
- Technical Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and a deep understanding of mobile art workflows (UI, gameplay, and animation).
- Design Instinct: A strong portfolio demonstrating an eye for detail, modern UX principles, and “world-leading” mobile aesthetics.
- Communication: Exceptional English communication skills; comfortable resolving conflicts and collaborating in a diverse, remote environment.
- Adaptability: A proactive mindset regarding AI workflows and the ability to manage tasks from concept to completion independently.
- Bonus Points: Experience with Spine animation, character/environment design, or managing external art vendors.
