  • Create and maintain appropriate UI/UX design documents for the team (e.g., discovery/ research results, journey maps, wireframes, mockups, etc.) that details the triggers, interactions, and subsequent events of specific features or aspects of gameplay

 

Qualifications:

  • Solid industry experience, having led significant portions of the UX of at least two shipped game titles or major releases of consumer-facing digital products
