Senior UI Engineer

Company Description

No Hero is a creative co-development studio specializing in beautifully crafted and brand-focused UX/UI for Video Games. We partner with some of the world’s most recognized game developers and publishers, with our UI Engineers building high quality, player focused UI systems.

We're growing our Partnerships team and are looking for a Senior UI Engineer to join. In this role you'll work on Indie, AA, and AAA titles, predominately in Unreal Engine, while providing support to our internal tools. 

Our UI Engineers are experts in Unreal Engine, and Unity. They collaborate closely with design, art, and other engineer teams to deliver performant, scalable, and polished user experiences. Their work span HUDs, menus, frontend flows, live features, and complex in-game systems, always with an emphasis on craft, usability, and player empathy.

Words from our Co-Founder, Alexander Levstein, "This role is for the wild hearted and focused crafter. We show up, push the boundaries of UX/UI within games, and collaborate with each other to overcome challenges. We stay late never because we have to, but because we are energized by the goal of putting our partners at the centre of the world stage, and chase the thrill of discovering creative solutions from big ideas to small pixel pushed details. We take responsibility for our craft, are contagiously curious, and always build each other up. If you're looking for the right opportunity to grow through creative challenges with a strong team and you have the right attitude with the skills to back it up, then we've got your back."
