We are a startup on a mission to create transformative entertainment experiences that are intentional about what they teach kids and teens. We are building a live service Multiplayer Sandbox game where players develop mathematical reasoning and creative problem solving skills. Think of a Lego meets Minecraft meets Scratch. We are not after the “traditional” educational games, we are re-imagining the future of games and learning - Jonathan Blow said it better than we ever could. Today, we are playtesting and iterating on an early version of our game, focusing on improving the player experience, and deepening our core systems and mechanics. We’re well funded, and our investors include Carina Initiatives, Riot Games and Dune Ventures

We’re looking for a part-time or freelance UI/UX designer with strong graphic design skills and a passion for user experience. In this role, you will work with our team to simplify and communicate game mechanics and features to our young audience. 

What we are looking for:

  • 5+ years of experience, and one or more shipped games in a core UI/UX role
  • Ability to turn complex features and systems into intuitive, accessible and visually appealing interfaces and interactions
  • Ability to create 2D and 3D UI/UX that’s in line with the game’s general design and art direction
  • Experience with UI/UX for mobile
  • Experience designing UI/UX for kids and teens
  • Proficiency with Unity’s UI pipeline
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate closely with designers, artists, and engineers
  • Proficient in Figma and Photoshop or equivalent
  • At least half day overlap with UK time zone

Big plus:

  • Experience in rapid UX prototyping
  • Experience designing UI/UX across different platforms
  • A degree in related fields (Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive Psychology, Interaction Design, etc)

How to Apply: If you’re interested in the position, fill out the application form. Please include a portfolio or work samples as part of your application. Application rolling until filled.
