UI/UX Designer (Remote)

*
Thup Games, an independent game company, is looking for a UI/UX designer to help create and develop mobile games. We are very interested in designers who have a unique perspective, and are comfortable with working on content that is audience friendly, but not mainstream or expected. Thup Games is a collaborative studio and we enjoy working with people who have opinions and like to give input and make suggestions, especially on aspects of the project that may not be their direct responsibility. This position is an off-site freelance opportunity with the potential to lead to a larger lead role involving multiple projects.

This is great opportunity for a production or freelance artist who is ready to take on a lead role in game development beyond production.

Compensation commensurate with experience.

Core

The UI/UX Artist will be responsible for taking game art from a brief all the way to the finished product. This will involve: assembling design references, wireframing and helping define UX flow by working closely with game designers, helping establish the game’s overall visual theme, creating mockups, helping the rest of the team to create and export final UI and 2D assets from Photoshop or Illustrator for use in-engine.

Must Have

• 3-5 years UI/UX design experience working in interactive media or mobile games

• Proven ability to design and develop game assets such as meters, buttons, and ingame content management like badges, and shop development

• Strong understanding of UI/UX flow and functional design

• A portfolio of work displaying a flexible approach to design with the ability to create distinct looks and styles

• 3+ years of game development

• Ability to structure your own work time and meet deadlines

• Knowledge of game design concepts and an understanding of the mobile marketplace

• 2D Animation experience

• Demonstrate an eye for high quality visual work with strong attention-to-detail and a mastery of typography, color, iconography and grid

• Solid understanding of hand-held device/web/mobile graphics techniques and production practices for both Android and iOS

• Expert with Photoshop and Illustrator as well as proficiency with Flash

• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines. This position requires a strong self-manager since work is primarily remote.

• Available in NYC area to meet for regular in person check in meetings

Good to have:

• Knowledge of game design concepts and an understanding of the mobile marketplace

• 2D Animation experience

• 3D design and animation experience

Looking forward to hearing from you!
