## About the Role and Team Disney Digital Entertainment, a division of Disney Experiences, is embarking on a mission to create the 'digital front door' for The Walt Disney Company, bringing all of the magic of Disney together into a new interactive universe. We're looking for a Lead UI (User Interface) / UX (User Experience) Designer to join us on an ambitious and exciting new project. If you're an imaginative creator with superb game development skills and a love of Disney/Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel properties, this is the opportunity for you. We're building an experienced development team that will help create groundbreaking game experiences that will herald the next generation of Disney to the world. Working with top-class industry talent, this role is perfect for the seasoned game developer looking to create something epic—collaborating with a robust group of developers focusing on individual experiences to create a wonderfully rich and cohesive product that is truly "Disney." This is a remote role with potential for minimal travel. ## What You'll Do You'll own and create UI implementation using Unreal Engine, UEFN (Unreal Editor Fortnite), and scripting in Verse in both the development and live service environments. Working with project leads and other developers, you'll design and create UI elements and game experiences that are fun and engaging. As a leader on the team, you'll manage the work for the UI team while working in a cross-disciplinary pod structure. You'll be a hands-on developer in the creation of content for several interactive games and experiences based on Disney's robust portfolio of characters and worlds, including Disney/Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. Your responsibilities include creating wireframes and mockups for user interfaces, working closely with art direction to develop and maintain UI style guidelines, and collaborating with other developers to design and build user interfaces that enhance the player's gameplay experience. You'll design, implement, and iterate on UI and UX systems and features, write and maintain detailed design documentation, and provide guidance and mentorship for other UI Designers. ## What We're Looking For You'll need **8 years of game development experience**, including at least one shipped game in a Lead/Manager role. Your development experience should include working with Unreal Engine and/or UEFN, and you should be adept in the use of UMG (Unreal Motion Graphics), Blueprints, and/or the Verse Scripting language. You've been a leader and developer on multiple shipped products and have familiarity with developing products on various gaming platforms—Console/PC and Mobile. You excel at partnering and collaborating with key stakeholders, working through challenging problems, and reaching consensus to achieve great things. A special appreciation of Disney's IP is essential, including characters and lore, linear media and movie franchises, theme parks design, and overall aesthetics. You enjoy creative problem-solving and building something new and innovative. You have experience creating UI mockups and wireframes using Figma or other UI programs, and you understand best practices to create smooth and engaging user experiences. You can communicate and understand what makes a clean, friendly, and engaging UI for games, and you understand best standards and practices of user interface design within a variety of different game styles. Expertise at working with 3D game engines and understanding their strengths and limitations in regards to user interface design is important. You're able to communicate effectively with other teams and groups. ## Education A Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design or equivalent combination of education and experience is required. Please include a portfolio showcasing your work and projects you have worked on with your application.
