<aside> 🔥 We have the ambition to create the most polished anime app, using official IPs for the first time ever outside of Japan!

</aside>

You'll partner with our production team to build and refine the UX design of our first mobile game, a light/casual 4X (think the 4X features of Monopoly Go, with the types of meta of Clash of Clan or Million Lords). Using a design thinking process, you will greatly contribute to the creation of the identity of the app with a casual UX, and clean and simple UI. This is an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the future of Manga & Anime games.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with our Game Designer and the studio’s founders to turn their vision and the game features into casual interfaces and user interactions.
• Apply a design thinking process in order to create, refine, and implement the interaction design and information architecture of the app in a human-centered approach.
• Contribute to our playtests by owning the UI/UX part of them.
• Participate in the refinement of the gameplay in collaboration with the game design team.
• Have high UX standards. Advocate across the team and company for inclusion, accessibility, and ethics. You will be placing users’ best interests at the center of your work.

Experience

• Solid knowledge in Human Factors psychology (especially usability and accessibility guidelines) and experience with the design thinking process.
• 2+ years experience as a UX Designer in the video game industry and with the 4X genre
• You are comfortable with the UI and UX design toolbox, more specifically flowcharts, wireframes, and prototypes.
• You embrace an iterative cycle (design, test, iterate)
• You are comfortable with Figma (or other prototyping tools such as Adobe XD)
• You are comfortable with Unity Technologies (ability to tweak UI, for example : rectransforms parameters, buttons, layout group, etc.)
• You have a good video game and manga culture or interest.

🦸‍♀️ Who we are looking for

We are passionate about offering compelling experiences that 1B Anime and Manga fans will LOVE. Hence, we need someone with strong human-centered design skills to help us accomplish this ambitious and challenging vision 🔥

For us, your degrees matter less than what you have built, achieved and discovered in your life.
