[Hiring] UI Artist @Colonist

Role Description

You'll own the visual quality of Colonist's UI. That means translating game mechanics into beautiful, intuitive interfaces, and making every button, animation, and screen feel like it belongs in a world players want to stay in. You'll work closely with developers and product to ship work that reaches millions of players.

This isn't a support role. We want someone who pushes quality forward independently and treats the product like their own.

What You'll Do

• Create high-quality UI designs that set a new standard for creativity and usability
• Create animations and motion that make interactions feel alive and intentional
• Collaborate with developers and QA to ensure designs ship as intended
• Identify and solve visual problems without waiting to be asked

Qualifications

• Strong portfolio showing game UI, interaction design, or animation work
• AI first-mindset. We see AI fluency as a real multiplier
• Proficiency in Figma or equivalent tools
• Solid grasp of animation principles and motion design
• Understanding of game mechanics and how UI serves gameplay
• Clear, structured written communication; this is a remote, async team

Requirements

• Basic scripting for prototyping (JavaScript, C#, or AI-assisted tooling)
• Game sound design experience

Benefits

• Your work ships to 3,6M+ yearly active players
• Async culture; deep work, no performative meetings
• Unlimited vacation, yearly team offsite, full work equipment
• Budget to experiment with any AI tool you want
• Stock options: you'll own a piece of what you're building
• Access to all company metrics and internal discussions
