UX & UI Designer

About Jollify Games

Jollify Games is a puzzle-focused mobile gaming studio based in Istanbul. We build smart-casual games that combine accessible fun with real strategic depth, clean UX, and satisfying progression. Our team brings AAA pedigree, now fully focused on mobile.

The Role

We are looking for a UX & UI Designer to own the player-facing experience across our games. You will shape how players navigate, understand, and enjoy our titles, from early wireframes and user research through to polished visual UI. You will work closely with game design, art, and product to ensure every screen feels intuitive, visually cohesive, and true to the Jollify standard: depth, polish, player respect.

What You Will Do

• Conduct user research and usability testing to understand player needs, pain points, and motivations.
• Translate research insights into wireframes, user flows, and interactive prototypes.
• Design clean, visually compelling UI elements including menus, HUDs, icons, buttons, pop-ups, and progression screens.
• Establish and maintain UI style guides, typography systems, color palettes, and iconography standards across titles.
• Collaborate with game designers to ensure UX supports core gameplay loops and meta systems.
• Work with the art team to ensure visual consistency between UI and in-game art direction.
• Use player data and A/B test results to iterate on and optimize the user experience.
• Present and defend design decisions to the team with clarity and rationale.

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of professional UI/UX design experience, with at least some of that time spent on mobile games.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking (research, flows, wireframes) and visual UI craft (polished screens, icon sets, component libraries).
• Solid understanding of mobile game UX patterns: onboarding, store/shop flows, progression systems, session pacing, and notification design.
• Proficiency in Figma (preferred) or equivalent design tools such as Sketch or Adobe XD.
• Understanding of color theory, typography, layout composition, and interaction design.
• Experience conducting or synthesizing user research, usability tests, or player feedback.
• Comfort working in a small, collaborative team where you will wear multiple hats.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate design rationale in English.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for puzzle, casual, or hybrid-casual game genres.
• Familiarity with Unity UI workflows (not hands-on implementation, but understanding constraints and handoff).
• Experience building or contributing to design systems.
• Interest in mobile game analytics and data-informed design decisions.

Why Jollify?

You will be joining a small, focused team at an early and exciting stage, with the chance to shape the player experience of games from the ground up. Our founder and leadership have shipped titles played by millions, and we hold ourselves to that standard. We believe mobile gaming should be built on trust, not extraction, and that conviction runs through everything we design.
