As a member of Big Huge Games, you will be part of a highly skilled and innovative group responsible for creating world-class mobile games. Candidates should combine strong software engineering fundamentals with a passion for user experience, visual polish, and collaboration across disciplines. Your work will directly shape how players interact with our games, from moment-to-moment usability to overall presentation and feel.
You will work closely with artists, designers, and other engineers to implement, refine, and iterate on user interface systems within Unity. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy bridging the gap between creative intent and technical execution—taking UI concepts, assets, and feedback, and turning them into responsive, performant, and maintainable in-game interfaces. We are looking for engineers who can collaborate effectively with non-programmers, communicate clearly about technical constraints, and iterate quickly to achieve the desired player experience.
