- Communicate and collaborate with UI and UX designers, UI engineers, technical designers and more to deliver features on time, in line with the art direction, and with the players best interest in mind.
- Ensure our UI is optimal with continued iteration and development.
- Routinely identify, implement, document, and advocate UI Blueprint architecture best practices and workflows to improve team effectiveness.

- Desire to solve problems and ability to think both technically and artistically, considering accessibility and optimization in your work.
- Strong understanding of engine technologies, optimization, and data structures.
- A positive attitude with the ability to give and receive constructive feedback.
- Ability to analyze and solve sophisticated technical and design problems.
- Experience building complex real-time user interfaces.
