hirify.global develops commercial games with a focus on polished, expressive player experiences.

What you will do

• Own the end-to-end UX/UI vision, from art direction, mood, and tone through final polish in Unity.
• Design and implement HUDs, menus, onboarding, settings, and reusable UI systems.
• Create game feel through micro-interactions, transitions, easing curves, screen shake, particle timing, and audio or haptic synchronization.
• Build and maintain a cohesive visual design system covering typography, color, iconography, spacing, and motion language.
• Prototype and iterate independently, turning rough sketches or brief concepts into polished, shippable results.
• Collaborate with engineers and designers on a small team while balancing accessibility with visual ambition.

Requirements

• At least one shipped commercial game with visible personal ownership of UX/UI.
• A portfolio demonstrating both design thinking and in-engine implementation, not only Figma compositions.
• Strong understanding of animation and motion principles, including easing, timing, anticipation, and follow-through.
• Experience with Figma, Adobe XD, or similar tools for high-fidelity mockups and translating designs into an engine.
• Strong foundations in typography, color theory, layout, visual hierarchy, and feedback-loop design.
• Experience driving ambiguous creative direction to a polished result and coordinating visual polish with audio and haptic feedback.

Nice to have

• Hands-on Unity experience with UGUI or UI Toolkit, Animator or Timeline, Shader Graph, and basic C#.
• Shader or VFX authoring for UI and custom Unity editor tools for faster iteration.
• Accessibility specialization, including colorblind-safe palettes, subtitles, adaptive scaling, and input-method parity.
• UX research experience with user testing, session recordings, or analytics-informed iteration.
• Motion graphics experience in After Effects or a shipped title recognized for UI/UX polish.
