User Interface Designer

Scarab Digital | Vancouver-based film and television productions | Staff position | Hybrid optional

A staff role for a designer with a natural eye for believable screen interfaces, strong visual judgment, and the drive to grow inside active film and television productions.

• Have a natural eye for design and can create believable user interfaces.
• Care about stunning visuals, readability, typography, and story; not just UX theory.
• Are coachable, accountable, and ready to grow with mentorship from an experienced design team.
• Want to build interactive and moving UI mockups for phones, tablets, and computers inside film and television worlds.

We're not just any content creation and motion picture equipment rental company; we're Scarab Digital, a creative powerhouse of innovation in digital production. Born from a desire to do things differently and strive to exceed creative and technological expectations, we've made our mark by transforming the visual storytelling landscape in the design of screen graphics, immersive virtual production experiences, and so much more.

Our one-stop-shop approach, combining creativity with cutting‑edge technology, has established us as a go-to partner for productions seeking to create compelling, visually stunning content.

We are looking for someone with a natural eye for design who we can mentor to create interactive and moving UI design mockups for phones, tablets, and computers inside the worlds of film and television productions in Vancouver. While a natural gift for creating believable user interfaces is a must, we are willing to train the right candidate on motion design in After Effects and interaction design in Proto Pie.

Any existing experience with those tools is a massive plus.

Scarab Digital creates story‑driven screen graphics for film and television: operating systems, applications, websites, phone screens, tablet screens, computer screens, messaging moments, social interfaces, dashboards, and speculative UI/FUI worlds. These graphics are not decorative. They need to read clearly on camera, feel true to the world of the story, and help move the narrative forward.

• This is not purely product UX design.
• This is not template‑based web design.
• This is not decorative screen design for its own sake.
• The job is to design interfaces that feel believable, cinematic, visually strong, and story‑useful.

• Work closely with senior designers to understand project requirements and objectives.
• Create detailed and visually compelling UI designs for operating systems, applications, and web pages.
• Design mockups for phones, tablets, and computers inside film and television productions.
• Ensure that UI designs align with the overall visual style and narrative of the production.
• Stay updated on industry trends and technological advancements to enhance the realism of digital interfaces.
• Animate UI designs to address scripted beats.
• Translate notes, references, and feedback into stronger production‑ready design work.

• Take ownership of your work instead of waiting to be managed through every step.
• Are coachable, curious, and serious about getting better quickly.
• Care about readability, typography, hierarchy, timing, and visual storytelling.
• Can take direct feedback without defensiveness and turn it into better work.
• Have the instincts of an A‑player: accountable, resourceful, reliable, and committed to raising the standard around you.
• Bring positive creative fuel to the team; the kind of energy that helps ideas move, problems get solved, and people trust you more over time.

• Accountability:
  See it, own it, solve it, do it. Become part of the solution.
• Proactivity:
  Act now and always ask, "What else can I do?"
• Excellence:
  Reject average and take personal ownership with pride.
• Respect:
  Care about others, their feelings, and the impact of how you communicate.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Ask for feedback by asking, "What coaching do you have for me?" and "What can I do…
