Senior UX Technical Designer

EPAM Systems is seeking a Senior UX Technical Designer to support a AAA fighting game project in Unreal Engine 5. The role bridges UX, art, design, and engineering, focusing on turning UX flows, prototypes, and visual designs into polished in-engine UI experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Implement UI screens, flows, widgets, animations, and interaction behaviors directly in Unreal Engine 5
• Work with UX Designers to interpret user flows, wireframes, Figma designs, HTML prototypes, and design documentation
• Partner with UI Engineers to create technically sound, scalable, and reusable UI structures
• Collaborate with UI Artists to ensure assets are integrated accurately and polished in-engine
• Prototype and refine frontend and in-match UI experiences across gameplay contexts
• Support 2D UI implementation, including possible 3D-anchored 2D-rendered gameplay UI elements
• Help implement expressive yet functional UI motion using UMG, Sequencer, materials, and Blueprint-driven workflows
• Build and maintain UI prefabs, widgets, layouts, animation states, and interaction prototypes
• Validate UI across mobile-centric and multi-platform experiences within the game ecosystem
• Work with sound and VFX teams to align UI animations, celebratory moments, input feedback, and visual effects with the broader game style
• Support production handoff by documenting implementation details, edge cases, interaction rules, and dependencies
• Contribute to seasonal updates, publishing tasks, and live-service UI iteration

Requirements:

• At least 3 years of professional relevant experience in UX or UI technical design
• Strong experience implementing game UI within Unreal Engine
• Hands-on background with UMG and Blueprint-based UI workflows
• Ability to translate UX flows and visual direction into functional in-engine UI
• Solid understanding of layout, interaction design, UI motion, animation timing, and responsive behavior
• Ability to work closely with engineering while staying comfortable with visual and experiential design concerns
• Practical experience creating prototypes and production-ready UI assets or screens directly in-engine
• Familiarity with Figma-based design workflows for collaboration and handoff
• Ability to iterate quickly in a shifting creative and technical environment
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across UX, art, engineering, design, production, VFX, and sound
• Good understanding of multi-platform UI constraints, particularly mobile-centric interaction patterns
• Fluent English communication skills at a B2 level or higher, both written and verbal
• Hands-on experience with UE5 CommonUI for scalable and platform-aware UI development
• Background contributing to AAA, live-service, fighting, action, multiplayer, or competitive games
• Experience working with HTML prototypes or hybrid design-to-engine prototyping workflows
• Practical experience implementing UI animations using Sequencer and materials
• Familiarity with supporting live updates, publishing overhead, or seasonal content delivery
• Exposure to working with evolving design systems or adapting existing design systems to a new project
• Awareness of approved AI-assisted tools for prototyping, documentation, or production acceleration
