About This Role
Designing and implementing the interfaces that players interact with in Krepe Studio's games and interactive experiences is the core of this role. This includes menus, HUDs, shops, onboarding, and screens integrated into the game's universe, ensuring they are clear, intuitive, and faithful to brand identity for both internal projects and partners with international IPs on platforms like Roblox, UEFN, and Meta Horizon. This position is for an operational designer within a small, senior team, primarily focusing on UI design with UX reflexes to identify confusing user journeys and the technical skills to integrate UI directly into an engine.

- Collaborate with developers on parts requiring more advanced code
- Design for clarity and ease of use on all devices and input modes, including mobile, console, and VR
- Conduct quick playtests and iterate based on actual player behavior
- Define the UI style for each project, from typography and iconography to motion design and visual feedback
- Translate client and IP graphic charters into brand-faithful UI that complies with platform rules
- Work daily with developers, game designers, and artists
- Handle related tasks when required, such as wiring a UI event or creating provisional visuals
- Use AI tools and rapid prototypes to test ideas upstream
- Create and maintain UI kits, components, and style guides for faster and consistent team work
Requirements
- At least 3 years of experience in UI design for games, interactive experiences, or applications, with released titles or online products
