When you join us at Lighthouse, you will be able to create the best work of your career, in an environment that feels truly collaborative. You will learn from the best, and work along side the future greats of the gaming industry.
We're building something ambitious, and we're looking for a talented UI/UX Artist to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term contract and help shape the player experience of our next-generation open-world game.
As a UI/UX Artist, you'll play a key role in designing and delivering intuitive, engaging and visually compelling user interfaces across the game.

You'll have the opportunity to influence how players interact with the game, ensuring that the experience is both functional and visually exciting.
This is a hands-on role where your creative thinking, attention to detail and understanding of player-focused design will have a direct impact on the final game.
