UI/UX Designer

We are a growing team based in Prague (Czech Republic), developing world leading game-based military simulations for major NATO powers and their allies. We are constantly looking for ways to advance the whole industry, using the latest technologies and trends (such as whole world simulation, virtual reality and motion tracking).

We are looking for a UI/UX Designer to join our team! As a member of the design team, you will work with technical game designers, artists, programmers, QA, and other developers to implement compelling and accessible UI for our products.

Importantly, as a member of a small, global UX team you will be responsible for owning the UX on multiple projects and being an advocate for UX across our global organization. While we have a UX process in place, it is growing and evolving and we are looking for someone that can bring industry best practices with them to contribute to our growing UX need. You will be supported in this effort by colleagues with a strong understanding of our company, our products, and our current development methodologies.

Our unique environment is better than developing AAA games or boring business software:

• We give you freedom and responsibility to do things well, support you, train you, and teach you.
• We have a relaxed environment where we aim not to limit our staff with too many regulations. We trust you.
• We offer a wide variety of work and a crunch / overtime free environment due to our management standards and business model.
• You will join a growing company with a lot of exciting opportunities and new challenges.
• Our business has a worthy cause, the work we do has an actual impact on making the world a safer place.

We have an existing ecosystem of products, features and a style guide which you must be able to work within and improve. You will need flexibility and creativity, as projects can range from a simple set of infantry features to a complex armored fighting vehicle simulator. No two projects will be the same, always bringing a new challenge!
