About Us

Hug & Roll Gaming is a new game studio based in the San Francisco Bay Area, building our first title: a competitive real-time strategy game. We're a small, ambitious team, and we're looking for talented, passionate people who'll build it with us. Our website: https://hugandroll.com/

The Role

We're hiring a UI/UX designer to design and streamline the interface end-to-end. We are looking for someone to help curate the player experience from start to finish in our game.

Responsibilities

Design and build the in-game HUD: command card, minimap, resource displays, tooltips
Create UI art: icons, frames, buttons, and states, consistent with the game's art direction
Implement interfaces in Unreal Engine 5 using UMG
Design flows for menus, matchmaking, settings, and progression
Iterate from playtest feedback — watch people get confused, then fix it
Collaborate on the overall art style and vibe of the game

What We're Looking For

A portfolio of game UI work — shipped, personal, or from a mod
Both sides of the discipline: you can make it look good and reason about how it behaves
Proficiency in Figma and Photoshop, or equivalent
Working knowledge of Unreal Engine 5, or the appetite to learn UMG quickly
Passion for games, learning, and growing with a small team

Nice to Have

Game UI Experience
Motion design and UI animation
Accessibility work: colorblind-safe palettes, scaling, input remapping
Blueprint scripting
2D illustration

What We Offer

A small, passionate team where your voice matters
Remote-friendly
Competitive rates based on experience
