We Need You

The minions of Hell are growing stronger...

Join us as we continue to shape the Diablo universe! Diablo games are action RPG experiences with endless evil to slaughter, countless abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons, and legendary loot. Come work with us, and together, we’ll create something amazing. Our team of passionate developers is growing.

As a Senior UX Designer, you will collaborate across disciplines to design and implement interface systems that elevate gameplay and enhance the overall player experience. If you’re passionate about user flows, visual communication, information hierarchy, pixel-perfect layouts, and the nuanced details that make game interfaces intuitive and immersive, this is your opportunity to help bring the world of Diablo to life through thoughtful, player-centered design.

This role offers a flexible hybrid work week, with a mix of remote and on-site days. While hybrid is the standard arrangement, you're also welcome to work on-site full-time if you prefer. Our primary studio locations are in Albany, NY, and Irvine, CA.

Responsibilities

• Generate UX designs that both achieve ARPG game experience goals and improve the player experience in the form of mockups, prototypes, flows, and layouts.

• Implement interface screens using efficient and flexible layout design and collaborate with engineers to ensure features are built to design specifications.

• Iterate on presentation and interaction to both look pixel-perfect and feel great.

• Continually evaluate the UX/UI based on feedback from players, player research, game designers, product managers, and UX/UI leads.

• Integrate with the core game development team, contributing to the experience roadmap with relevant stakeholders.

• Identify opportunities to improve implementation standards, processes, and collaborative workflows.

• Coach and mentor team members with UX/UI skills.

Minimum Requirements

• 8+ years of experience as a UX designer, interaction designer, or similar on public products.

• Experience with UI implementation in a modern engine or platform (e.g., Unity, Unreal, or HTML5).

• Ability to adhere to a project’s existing visual and interaction patterns.

• Experience with designing multiple control schemes (e.g., Controllers, Mouse & Keyboard, and/or Touch Screen).

• Positive attitude around receiving and providing objective feedback.

Bonus Points

• Passion for the Diablo franchise and/or ARPG genre.

• Interests in nurturing a healthy game community.

• Experience designing interfaces for a variety of platforms and/or control schemes.

Submission / Portfolio requirements:

• A portfolio showing a solid grasp of usability design principles, user flows, and prototypes you have created for UI screens, as well as samples of your visual design ability.
