A designer at Uplay works to improve the platform by weaving composition, typography, iconography and color together to bring a visually pleasing and intuitive experience for our users. We care about our users and keep a close eye on the community to identify where we should put in the effort to best address its concerns and needs. We continuously conduct user tests to gauge our players’ behaviors, attitudes and emotions and use that information to continuously improve our platform. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of designers and developers, where everyone is challenged to expand their knowledge and always continue learning new things.
Operating a live platform is a team effort and presents an unique challenge. You will work closely with colleagues and together solve problems and invent new technology and design patterns. From idea to implementation, you will play a key role in delivering a high quality end result.

You as a person

You’ll rely on user-centered design principles to craft wireframes, mock-ups and prototypes which you then will help out implementing. You always strive for the best quality, but also know when a feature is good enough and when your time is better spent elsewhere. You collaborate and communicate in a positive and energizing way, adding to the culture and well-being of the team. You put the players’ and game teams’ needs first throughout design and execution. You are confident in your skills, but are willing to ask for help when you need it. You are of course interested in gaming!
