• Establish and document UI best practices and patterns to improve consistency across the product

• Version control proficiency with Perforce (preferred) or Git
• English proficiency at B2 Upper-Intermediate level for daily collaboration

Nice to have

• C++ in Unreal Engine to extend UI frameworks, create base classes, and improve performance-critical paths
• Familiarity with CommonUI/CommonInput for cross-platform input and navigation patterns
• Experience with Slate for custom widgets and advanced UI behavior
• Live-service product experience including rapid iteration, hotfix mindset, and feature flags or remote config patterns
• Cross-discipline collaboration experience with backend or services teams

Benefits
