Role: UI/UX Designer – Mobile Game

Design and refine the mobile game UI/UX for a Japanese language learning app centered on emotionally responsive, anime-inspired “Sensei” characters.

Responsibilities

• Create stylized mobile game interfaces with animated elements, layered components, and character-focused layouts.
• Develop intuitive UX flows for interacting with Sensei agents, switching chat modes, tracking progress, and accessing features.
• Build UI kits, style guides, and reusable components in Figma for developer handoff.
• Collaborate with Unity developers and character designers to ensure seamless UI and animation integration.
• Design promotional UI assets (event screens, login bonuses, shop layouts).
• Ensure mobile responsiveness for iOS and Android, with localization readiness and visual consistency.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of UI/UX design experience for mobile apps or games.
• Ability to translate complex systems into intuitive, delightful user flows.
• Proficiency in Figma (or Sketch/Adobe XD) and experience creating design systems.
• Strong visual design fundamentals: layout, typography, color, and motion.
• Familiarity with the aesthetic of anime games, visual novels, or gacha apps.
• Collaborative and iterative working style; comfortable receiving feedback from product and creative teams.

Bonus / Nice to Have

• Experience collaborating with Unity developers or implementing game UI.
• Background in mobile games, edtech apps, or interactive storytelling.
• Knowledge of localization and multi-language layout support (especially Japanese).
• Motion/UI animation skills (e.g., After Effects, Lottie).
• Understanding UX for emotionally responsive systems (e.g., affection levels and agent reactions).

Work Setup

• Fully remote, async team.
• Asia time zones preferred (but flexible).
• Contract or full-time depending on availability and skill match.
