Minetta Interactive is an NYC-based mobile puzzle game studio founded by former game design and technical leaders from NYT Games and Two Dots. We are soft launching our first game this summer, a casual word association game. We make mobile games people are proud to play.

We combine the creativity, talent, and passion of New York City with the discipline of modern mobile studios globally, and we want you to join us!

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior UI/UX Designer, in person in NYC. This is not a remote role. You will own how our games look and feel, from screen and icon designs to the flows and interactions of every session. The role partners with game design, product, and engineering to make every part of the game intuitive, beautiful, and fun. We are open to strong product and interaction designers from outside games who have a real feel for play.

At Minetta, we design multiple games in parallel, each with its own look and feel. As such, you should be comfortable moving between them and building visual systems from scratch rather than working within existing ones.

This is our first full-time art hire, and a chance to shape how our studio approaches art and design as our slate of games grows, from establishing workflows to hiring additional creatives.

Responsibilities

• Own UI/UX layouts, flows, and interaction design across our games, in partnership with design, product, and engineering
• Define the visual language and world of a game
• Design fun and intuitive wireframes, screens, iconography, and prototypes in Figma
• Deliver polished, production-ready UI specs and mockups for engineering to implement in Unity
• Direct motion and transitions that make game interfaces feel alive

Requirements

• 5+ years designing UI/UX for games, mobile apps, or consumer products on an in-house creative team or at an agency, with a portfolio of intuitive, polished interfaces
• Expert in Figma
• Strong command of UX and UI fundamentals: layout, hierarchy, interaction, screen scaling, safe areas, and designing across device sizes
• Strong systems thinking, with the ability to make an entire product feel like one cohesive whole
• Strong communication. Comfortable presenting concepts, giving and taking feedback, and aligning design, product, and engineering
• Enthusiasm for (mobile) games! This can come in many forms, and can be as simple as a real feel for games and how they play

Bonus

• Illustration and visual art skills
• Photoshop, Illustrator, or other art tools
• Motion design (After Effects or similar)
• Comfort implementing or polishing UI directly in Unity
• Having shipped and operated a live mobile game

Benefits and Perks

• Top-tier NYC salary, meaningful equity, and a full benefits package, competitive with senior design roles at high-quality studios
• A young studio that moves fast and gives everyone real ownership. You will have a large impact on both the game and the culture of the company
• Well funded and building for the long term, with the runway to take our first game to the finish line and keep going
• Supported by advisors across gaming, tech, finance, and media here in NYC
