Senior Tech UI Designer

About the Position

We are seeking a Senior Tech UI Designer to serve as the bridge between design and engineering, implementing UI systems in Unreal Engine with a focus on architecture rather than aesthetics.

Responsibilities

• Break features and wireframes down into the necessary widgets, structures, and classes; design reusable, extendable widgets
• Lay out wireframes with the right widget classes so visual designers can start styling
• Rapidly prototype UX/Visual designs and translate design needs into technical requirements for programmers
• Ensure player input is correctly mapped, responsive, and has appropriate "game feel"
• Own UI performance by keeping within memory and CPU constraints, and profile the cost of UMG / Slate / C++ / texture memory without programmer help
• Write Blueprint logic for presentation behavior; consult UI engineers on what belongs in Blueprint vs native code
• Assist UI Artists with special presentation behavior
• Debug Blueprint/UMG issues fast using fault-isolation techniques
• Improve documentation, organization, and workflow for UX, UI Art, and UI engineering

Requirements

• 5–7 years of professional experience as a UI Tech Designer, Technical UI Artist, or similar hybrid design/engineering role, ideally within games
• Proficiency in Unreal Engine 5, including UMG, Slate, and Blueprints, with hands-on experience building real, shipped UI screens and flows
• Understanding of style sheeting/style sets and how to apply them consistently across a large set of screens
• Background in designing and implementing navigation flows and screen-to-screen relationships in a live product
• Capability to work from a component/template library and assemble it into cohesive, production-quality experiences
• Skills in problem-solving, particularly around complex, context-dependent navigation and state, such as scoped or contextual UI systems
• Understanding of UI performance considerations in real-time engines
• Competency in collaborating closely across art, UX, and engineering disciplines
• Capability to own ambiguous, foundational problems and drive them to a polished, shippable solution
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher

Nice to Have

• Experience building "scoped" or context-driven navigation systems, such as experiences that reconfigure based on a selected item, mode, or destination
• Familiarity with large-scale discovery/storefront UI patterns
• Blueprint scripting experience beyond basic UI wiring
• Knowledge of C++, C#, Python, scripting, and shaders / HLSL
• Familiarity with Unreal Editor
• Understanding of animation principles, After Effects to UMG pipelines, Rive, Lottie, and Spine

We Offer

• Connect like-minded people delivering innovative solutions to industry leaders, making a global impact
• Enjoyable working environment, whether it is the vibrant office or the comfort of your home
• Opportunity to work abroad for up to two months per year
• Relocation opportunities within our offices in 55+ countries
• Corporate and social events
• We invest in your growth: Leadership development, career advising, soft skills, and well-being programs
• Certifications, including GCP, Azure, and AWS
• Unlimited access to EPAM's internal learning database
• Free English classes with certified teachers
• We cover it all: Participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, monetary bonuses for engaging in the referral program, comprehensive medical & family care package, four trust days per year for personal needs, discounts for fitness clubs, and benefits package (hotels, restaurants, stores, and services)
