We are looking for a UX/Game Designer to join our growing team in Madrid, Spain. This is an opportunity for a current junior Game Designer with some experience in the industry with a heavy focus on UX.
At aheartfulofgames we value independence and flexibility on a mostly horizontal organizational structure. We develop several projects at the same time and this position will, at first, be in charge of part of the UX and overall design of IRONSKINS, an in-house developed Turn Based Strategy game. The project is scheduled to have a year left in-production once the position is filled, and afterwards you will work on other projects within the company. We are looking for a permanent hire that can further expand and strengthen our design team.
As a Game & UX Designer you will work alongside the existing Design Coordinators and our Art and Code teams to rework, design and implement a new, consistent UI/UX flow for the game. Furthermore, being in charge of UX, you will be expected to tune and polish visuals and gameplay, making sure the experience is engaging for its intended audience. You will also be in charge of designing and validating tutorials as well as overseeing narrative coherence.
Because of our size, structure and ethics, we are looking for a very hands-on UX Game Designer that is not afraid of a technically complex project, who can research tools and processes as needed. But most importantly we want somebody who can work with the whole team to ensure the game stays true to its vision and remains tightly knit.
