UI/UX designer to lead interface and control design for classic games ported between modern consoles, mobile devices, and PC at General Arcade.

Own the UI/UX vision, from control scheme to screen layout to on-screen guidance
Design control schemes and input mappings, including gamepads, touch screen support, air cursor, PS5 touchpad, Switch 2 mouse-mode support, and potentially VR controls
Produce overlay designs that extend legacy interfaces without breaking their original intent
Lead the controller-first redesign of pointer-driven titles
Build wireframes, mockups, and interactive concepts, then iterate them against real builds and playtests
Design for localization from the start: keeping in mind UTF-8 text, variable string lengths, and tight UI real estate
Work closely with programming, art, and production to get designs implemented and feeling right on hardware
Keep the player’s experience the priority: improve quality of life without breaking the underlying game mechanics

Shipped at least one game or port where you owned significant UI/UX work
Strong command of console UX conventions and gamepad-first interaction design
Ability to design within hard technical constraints and legacy systems rather than on a blank canvas
A feel for readability on a TV at distance and on a small handheld screen: layout, type, contrast, and information density
Comfort designing menu systems and input flows for complex, systems-heavy games
Solid wireframing and mockup skills, and the judgment to know when to preserve versus when to rebuild
