[Hiring] Senior Unreal Engine UI Technical Designer @EPAM Systems

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior UI Technical Designer to bridge design and engineering by building scalable UI systems in Unreal Engine with a focus on architecture, performance, and input feel. You will translate wireframes into reusable widgets and robust flows, partnering closely with cross-discipline teammates—apply now.

• Design UI system architecture by breaking features and wireframes into widgets, structures, and classes
• Build reusable and extensible widget templates that support efficient iteration and styling
• Lay out wireframes using appropriate widget classes to enable visual designers to apply styling quickly
• Prototype UX and visual concepts and translate design intent into actionable technical requirements
• Implement responsive player input mapping and tune interaction feel to match gameplay expectations
• Own UI performance by profiling UMG, Slate, Blueprint/C++ costs, and texture memory within constraints
• Write Blueprint presentation logic and advise what belongs in Blueprint versus native code
• Debug Blueprint and UMG issues quickly using systematic fault isolation
• Support UI artists with specialized presentation behaviors and workflow guidance
• Document UI systems and improve organization and pipelines across UX, UI art, and engineering
• Coordinate work to maintain reasonable time overlap with clients in the Cary, NC time zone

Qualifications

• 3 years of professional experience in a UI Tech Designer, Technical UI Artist, or similar hybrid role
• Deep Unreal Engine 5 experience with UMG, Slate, and Blueprints on shipped UI screens and flows
• Strong leadership skills to own ambiguous foundational UI problems and drive them to shippable solutions
• Proven project experience designing navigation flows and screen-to-screen relationships in a live product
• Strong UI performance knowledge for real-time engines including memory and CPU constraints
• Solid game math knowledge including basic algebra and geometry
• Strong programming fundamentals with visual scripting (Blueprints; Lua or Python)
• Excellent problem-solving skills for complex, context-dependent navigation and UI state
• Strong collaboration skills across UX, UI art, and engineering disciplines
• English proficiency: B2 Upper-Intermediate

Requirements

• Experience with scoped or context-driven navigation systems
• Familiarity with large-scale discovery or storefront UI patterns
• Advanced Blueprint scripting beyond basic UI wiring
• Experience with AI assistants applied to development workflows
• Background in gaming products and player-facing UI ecosystems
