UX/UI Designer for the game AGRONOM (system refinement)

About the project and current situation

We are CyberMages studio. We are making the game AGRONOM – a first-person farm simulator on Mars (PC). The player grows crops, builds a base, and automates processes using helper robots. Trailer:

The project is actively developing and has already passed two major playtests. As a result, UX/UI turned out to be one of the most vulnerable areas.

Important: Work on the interfaces has already begun. We have:

• A basic UX concept and understanding of player pain points.
• Partially reworked screens and a UI-kit.
• Materials from the previous designer.

We need someone who can audit the current work, critically evaluate it, and on this basis, assemble the interfaces into a cohesive, understandable system. The task is not to start from scratch, but to effectively refine and develop the existing base.

Who we are looking for

UX/UI designer with experience in games, an analytical mindset, and the ability to work with existing developments.

Important:

• Experience in designing game UX (not web/mobile).
• Systems thinking: the ability to understand complexity, identify the core problem, and structure a solution.
• Pragmatism: readiness to effectively refine and integrate, rather than redoing everything from scratch.
• Ability to work with complex mechanics and many screens.
• Ability to rely on feedback and playtest results.
• Understanding of game design principles and ability to work in a team.

Tasks

• Conduct an audit of current UI/UX solutions and identify critical points.
• Refine and rework key interfaces (HUD, system screens) based on the audit.
• Integrate and systematize scattered elements into a cohesive UI system (UI-kit development).
• Improve navigation, readability, and onboarding.
• Prepare a foundation for adaptation to controllers/Steam Deck.

Our stack and process

• Engine: Unreal Engine 5.5.
• Design: Figma (for prototypes and UI-kit), close collaboration with programmers for layout transfer.
• Work is conducted iteratively, with constant reliance on feedback from internal tests and playtests.

Conditions

• Format: remote, project-based/part-time (negotiable).
• Payment: piece-rate/hourly, based on interview results.
• Start: as soon as possible.

How to apply

Write to private messages or email (recruiter contact). Tell us about your experience, attach your portfolio (especially works with game interfaces), and if you have any, examples of working with others' developments or system refactoring.

We value honesty and transparency. We are ready to discuss all project details and tasks during the interview.
