Technical UI Designer

We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!

For 30 years we've been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games.

In this role, you'll be instrumental in crafting the essential UI systems for ongoing projects, collaborating closely with UI designers and artists to tackle challenging and engaging UI obstacles.

We understand that great UI isn't achieved through a single perspective, this is why we seek the best collaborators to create unforgettable experiences for ourselves and our players!
