We are looking for a Lead UI Tech Designer to bridge design and engineering by building scalable UI systems in Unreal Engine with a focus on architecture, performance, and game feel. You will translate wireframes into reusable widgets and navigation flows while partnering closely across disciplines—apply to help ship polished, responsive UI experiences.

Responsibilities

- Design UI system architecture by decomposing features and wireframes into widgets, structures, and classes

- Build reusable and extensible widget libraries that enable consistent, scalable UI development

- Implement wireframe layouts using appropriate widget classes to unblock visual styling workflows

- Translate UX and visual design needs into clear technical requirements for engineering partners

- Ensure player input mapping is responsive and supports appropriate game feel across UI flows

- Own UI performance by profiling UMG, Slate, C++, and texture memory costs within CPU and memory budgets

- Write Blueprint presentation logic and advise what belongs in Blueprint versus native code

- Debug Blueprint and UMG issues quickly using fault-isolation techniques

- Coordinate documentation, organization, and workflow improvements across UX, UI art, and UI engineering

Requirements

- 5+ years of professional experience as a UI Tech Designer, Technical UI Artist, or similar hybrid role

- Proven leadership skills bridging design and engineering to align technical and UX goals

- Strong project ownership skills to drive ambiguous UI system problems to shippable solutions





- Deep Unreal Engine 5 experience with UMG, Slate, and Blueprints on shipped UI screens and flows

- Strong UI systems design skills to create reusable, extensible widgets, structures, and classes

- Solid UI performance knowledge across memory and CPU constraints in real-time engines

- Proven navigation and state management experience for complex, context-dependent UI flows

- Strong style sheet and style set experience to ensure consistent theming across many screens

- Excellent collaboration skills with UX, UI art, and engineering partners

- Upper-Intermediate English proficiency (B2)

- Ability to maintain reasonable working-time overlap with clients in Cary, NC

Nice to have

- Experience building scoped or context-driven navigation systems

- Familiarity with large-scale discovery or storefront UI patterns

- Advanced Blueprint scripting beyond basic UI wiring
