Solve advanced dynamic scaling, localization, and multi-platform layout challenges while strictly enforcing performance budgets, draw call optimizations, modular texture packing, and project-wide file systems.
- Champion Autonomy & Workflow: Collaborate with UX design to create comprehensive UI art solutions with minimal to no supervision. Take end-to-end ownership of full features by managing complex asset pipelines, anticipating technical bottlenecks, and driving iterative design reviews.
- Foster Collaboration & Communication: Partner with Leads, UI Engineers, UX Designers, and the XD Director to define technical constraints, refine workflows, and align cross-functional teams. Articulate art rationale clearly across disciplines, help drive feature reviews, and mentor peer artists to elevate the overall quality bar of the UI Art team.

- Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of technical UI implementation standards, including performance budgets, draw call optimizations, modular texture packing.
- Pipeline Architecture: Experience managing complex asset pipelines, anticipating bottlenecks, and building scalable, future-proof UI file systems.
- Mentorship & Communication: Strong ability to articulate artistic rationale across disciplines and a proven track record of mentoring junior or intermediate team members.
BENEFICIAL QUALIFICATIONS / NICE TO HAVES
- Advanced proficiency working directly in game engines (e.g., Unreal Engine) and associated UI toolsets (e.g., UMG).
- Strong background in motion graphics, animation, or visual effects specifically tailored to UI feedback loops and dynamic compositions.
