- Deep proficiency in Photoshop and/or Illustrator; comfortable working in Figma for mockups and handoff
- Hands-on experience working directly in Unity, with a deep understanding of prefabs, canvas systems, asset atlasing, and UI animation workflows
- Experience designing for live ops, including event storefronts, battle passes, or limited-time content flows
- Solid understanding of mobile UI constraints: aspect ratios, touch target sizing, performance budgets
Nice to Have
- Experience on a title with ongoing live ops post-launch
- Experience building or maintaining a UI component/design system from early stage
- Comfort working in a small team where roles overlap and ownership is broad
