Senior UI Artist

Escape Velocity Entertainment – 100% Remote (Anywhere) · Full-Time

We’re a fully-remote, veteran-led studio building a once-in-a-career AAA title with a committed publisher and zero crunch culture.

We need a world-class Senior UI Artist who lives and breathes Unreal Engine 5 and can turn wireframes into breathtaking, theme-perfect interfaces that feel as good as the game itself.

What you’ll own

• Create the definitive UI Art vision for our game in close partnership with Art Direction, Game Direction, and UX
• Implement production-ready UI directly in UE5 (menus, HUD, icons, materials/shaders, motion, VFX integration – the full stack)
• Build and evolve a cohesive, high-performance UI design system that scales across an entire AAA title
• Ship polished, AAA-quality screens and flows from prototype to final polish
• Push the boundaries of what’s possible with UI art in Unreal Engine 5 (Niagara, Control Rig, MetaHuman integration – you name it)

You’re perfect for this if

• You have multiple shipped AAA titles (or equivalent high-end quality) with your name on the UI credits
• Unreal Engine 5 UI implementation is muscle memory (UMG, Slate, widgets, materials, animation blueprints, etc.)
• Your portfolio makes people say “holy sh*t” – stunning motion, flawless readability, and perfect thematic alignment
• You can take a graybox wireframe and return something that feels like concept art that’s already alive in-engine
• You’ve built or significantly evolved design systems / UI frameworks used by large teams
• You hate crunch, love autonomy, and thrive in a trust-first, async, fully-remote studio

Why you’ll never want to leave

• Truly remote anywhere in the world (we’ve been remote-first forever)
• No crunch, ever – protected scopes and realistic schedules
• Studio-wide summer + winter holidays (on top of generous PTO)
• Private medical, dental, mental health coverage
• Annual health & wellbeing allowance + top-spec home office budget
• Discretionary studio bonus when we ship gold
• A team that obsesses over making every hour you spend feel rewarding

If you’ve been waiting for the right AAA project where your UI art will be seen by millions and you’ll actually be treated like a human being — this is it.

Apply with:

• Portfolio/reel that screams AAA UI craftsmanship (breakdowns of UE5 implementation = huge bonus)
• Resume/CV
• A quick note telling us your favorite piece of game UI ever and why

We read every application. No recruiters, no agencies.

Escape Velocity is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and encourage applications from everyone, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief, race, or any other protected category.
