Ux Designer

Overview Ux Designer role at Memory Ware. Memory Ware is a fully remote studio focused on player-first experiences in games, with a JRPG-inspired design ethos. We’re Looking For We’re looking for a UX Designer who is excited to shape player experience across combat, exploration, and narrative. You’ll own UX initiatives across the entire player journey, from moment-to-moment interactions to broader systemic experiences like progression, combat and exploration. You should be able to envision how each interaction, mechanic, and layer of feedback contributes to an unforgettable player experience. You will collaborate closely with game designers, engineers, UI artists, and narrative designers to ensure the whole game feels cohesive, intuitive, and emotionally resonant. Responsibilities Lead UX thinking across major systems, ensuring core mechanics (e.g. combat, dungeons, item use, turn management) are intuitive, satisfying, and player-first. Design flows, wireframes, and interaction prototypes to support key experiences, not just interfaces. Collaborate with designers to improve the feel and clarity of core game mechanics. Identify friction points across the gameplay loop and propose smart, game-genre-aware solutions. Bridge the Design Team with other teams to ensure visual and technical execution supports usability and emotional tone. Use tools like Figma, Miro and Unity to develop and communicate UX intent and build low-fidelity prototypes. Research and document genre conventions (especially JRPGs), identifying good practices and opportunities for innovation. Help define usability testing plans and translate feedback into actionable iterations. Advocate for accessibility, clarity, and joy in every part of the game. What We're Looking For Experience as a senior or lead UI/UX designer on at least one shipped game or app. A portfolio demonstrating strong visual design, user flows, and UX strategy. Experience working directly with engineers and shipping UI in a game engine (ideally Unity). Experience designing UX in game development, ideally on games with layered systems and mechanics. A player-first mindset with emotional clarity, pacing, and flow in mind. Strong UX fundamentals: flow design, interaction principles, usability best practices. Excellent communication skills and ability to explain reasoning, take feedback, and build alignment. Comfort owning initiatives and proactively improving player experience across disciplines. Passion for system-heavy or narrative-rich games, especially RPGs, strategy, or adventure titles. Bonus Points Experience designing for console or controller-first games. Motion design or interaction design skills for feedback and transitions. Game design literacy and ability to engage in design discussions beyond UX. Familiarity with accessibility design for games.
