Задачи
•Own the UI/UX vision, from control schemes and screen layouts to on-screen guidance

•Create overlay designs that extend legacy interfaces while preserving their original intent
•Lead controller-first redesigns of pointer-driven titles
•Build wireframes, mockups, and interactive concepts, then iterate them against real builds and playtests
•Design for localization, accounting for UTF-8 text, variable string lengths, and limited UI space
•Work with programming, art, and production to implement designs and ensure they work well on hardware
•Prioritize the player experience and improve quality of life without breaking underlying game mechanics

•Understand readability on TVs viewed from a distance and on small handheld screens, including layout, typography, contrast, and information density
•Comfortable designing menu systems and input flows for complex, systems-heavy games
•Strong wireframing and mockup skills, with judgment on when to preserve or rebuild
•Provide examples of your work
Nice to have: experience porting or remastering older PC titles to console, familiarity with console certification requirements, experience designing UI for localized releases, motion, air-cursor, or touch-input design experience.
