Senior UI Artist

Your Role As a Senior UI Artist, you will help define and elevate the visual language of MARVEL SNAP across the game's interface and player experience. You'll own UI art from early exploration through final implementation, translating gameplay and UX requirements into polished, intuitive, and expressive visual experiences. You'll work closely with UX Designers, Game Designers, Engineers, Product, and the Art Director to solve complex problems through clear visual design. This is a hands‑on senior role. We're looking for someone who can independently take ambiguous problems, develop strong visual solutions, communicate their thinking, and drive those solutions through iteration and implementation. You'll also help establish and maintain UI visual standards, mentor other artists through feedback and collaboration, and contribute to the continued evolution of MARVEL SNAP's visual identity. This is a 6-month contract role to start (with possible extension), but if it's a great mutual fit, it could evolve into a full‑time position. What You'll Do Own the visual design and execution of UI experiences from concept through final, game‑ready implementation. Create high‑quality UI assets including screens, panels, buttons, icons, badges, backgrounds, decorative elements, effects, and other 2D graphic assets. Translate UX flows and gameplay requirements into clear, intuitive, and visually compelling UI solutions. Develop visual explorations, high‑fidelity comps, prototypes, and style guides that communicate design intent. Collaborate closely with UX Designers, Game Designers, Engineers, Producers, and other artists to solve UI and player‑experience challenges. Establish and maintain cohesive visual standards across UI features and systems. Create and refine iconography, typography, layout, color, hierarchy, and other visual‑design systems. Design UI interactions and visual states, including transitions, feedback, emphasis, and other moments that make the interface feel responsive and alive. Implement UI art directly in the game engine and work with Engineers to ensure assets are performant, scalable, and production‑ready. Rapidly prototype, iterate, and refine designs based on playtesting, feedback, and evolving product requirements. Identify opportunities to improve existing UI and proactively raise the visual quality and usability of the game. Help establish efficient workflows, processes, and best practices for UI art production. Provide thoughtful feedback, and mentorship to other artists when appropriate. What You'll Need 10+ years of professional UI, UX, or game art experience, with experience contributing to at least one commercially shipped game. A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional UI design, visual design, iconography, and game interface work. A portfolio is required for consideration. Strong fundamentals in visual design, composition, typography, color, hierarchy, iconography, and information design. Experience taking UI concepts from rough exploration through polished, production‑ready assets. A strong understanding of UX principles and human‑computer interaction, with the ability to balance usability and visual expression. Experience designing for different screen sizes, resolutions, and aspect ratios. Experience creating visual systems and maintaining consistency across a large number of UI elements and features. Proficiency with industry‑standard design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, or equivalent. Experience working directly in a game engine and understanding the practical requirements of implementing UI in a game. Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to clearly explain design decisions and incorporate feedback. The ability to work independently, manage priorities, and make sound visual decisions in a fast‑moving production environment. A high level of craft and attention to detail, with a genuine passion for making games look and feel great. Nice to Have, But Not Necessary Experience working on a card game, collectible card game, or strategy game. Experience working on a live‑service game with frequent content updates. Experience shipping mobile games or games across multiple platforms. Experience with motion design, UI animation, or interactive prototyping. Experience with Unity or another game engine. Familiarity with UI implementation, scripting, or programming. Experience building or maintaining UI component libraries and design systems. Experience providing mentorship or visual direction to other artists. Experience working with Marvel, licensed IP, or other highly recognizable entertainment properties.
