Principal UI​/UX Designer, Unannounced Ultra Game

Overview

Who We Are Second Dinner is an award-winning independent game development studio. We have earned 22 awards to date, including Mobile Game of the Year from The Game Awards and DICE, Best Strategy Game from IGN, and the Apple Design Award for Innovation. These accolades reflect the dedicated people who make up our studio. You could be the next addition to our award-winning team!

For our debut game, MARVEL SNAP, we’ve partnered with Marvel. We’ve got other exciting projects in the works, and this role is a chance to be part of something new and special at the company. As a remote-first company, we value diversity and encourage applications from everyone who can bring something unique to the table.

We are on a journey to build a brand new Ultra Fun game. This is a major multiplatform (mobile-first) free-to-play game designed to be played, loved, and experienced for years to come. It has elements familiar to fans of our previous titles and some ideas that push into new territory. Our prototype team is fun, experienced, scrappy, and values collaboration to create the next generation of cross-platform free-to-play games.

We highly regard UI/UX craft and believe specialty is a crucial part of building accessible games with depth.

As a prototype team, this is a contract role that could become permanent if the project moves into full production later this year. We invite you to dive in, roll up your sleeves, and join the journey with us!

This is a 3-month contract to start (with possible extension), but it could evolve into a full-time position if mutually a good fit.

• Provide vision for the game's UI/UX, ensuring alignment with the game's creative vision and player experience goals
• Prototype ideas quickly to test flows, layouts, and interactions

• Put it in the build

• You have crafted intuitive and fun User Interfaces on PC and/or Mobile
