Your mission:

We are actively recruiting a Senior UI UX Artist to help MPG deliver the best possible Game User Interfaces to our clients.  Are you driven mad by certain design choices: the colour choice for that button, or the positioning of it? Font choice, alignment and kerning? Hate it when they put a handle on a door that you have to push? If these little things make you tick, then this may be the role for you.

You will work alongside the UI lead, collaborating closely with the game designers, UX design, our global art team and production teams to deliver world class work and continue our drive for improvement in service and quality.

You’ll be an advocate for great communication in User Interfaces. Sharing knowledge on the subject and contributing improvements to our processes.

He said: “MPG recognises what its okay to ask of us and what isn't. We're not expected to overextend ourselves for the sake of a project or development cycle. They've given me nothing but encouragement and room to grow and become a better dev with every project and task they've given me."
