What is a UI engineer?

A UI Engineer, or User Interface Engineer, is a professional who designs, develops, and implements the visual and interactive elements of software applications. They focus on creating intuitive, efficient, and visually appealing user interfaces that enhance the user experience. UI Engineers work closely with designers and backend developers to translate requirements and mockups into functional, responsive code using technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Their role bridges the gap between design and technical implementation.

What is the difference between Ui Engineer vs Front End Developer?

AspectUi EngineerFront End Developer
Required SkillsUI design, prototyping, user experience focus, HTML, CSS, JavaScriptHTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks like React or Angular, coding skills
Work EnvironmentDesign teams, product teams, focus on user interface and experienceDevelopment teams, coding and implementing interfaces
Common UsageDesigning and refining user interfaces, user experience optimizationBuilding and coding website or app interfaces

While both roles work on user interfaces, Ui Engineers focus more on UI design, prototyping, and user experience, often collaborating closely with designers. Front End Developers primarily focus on coding and implementing the visual and interactive elements of websites or applications. The roles overlap but differ in emphasis on design versus development tasks.

How does a UI engineer collaborate with UX designers and front-end developers during a project?

UI Engineers work closely with UX designers to translate wireframes and prototypes into interactive, visually appealing interfaces, ensuring that user experience goals are met through precise implementation. They also collaborate with front-end developers to integrate UI components with application logic, maintain code consistency, and optimize performance. Regular communication and participation in design reviews or sprint planning sessions are common, which helps ensure seamless alignment between design vision and technical execution.

How much do UI engineers make?

UI engineers typically earn a median salary ranging from $70,000 to $120,000 annually, depending on experience, location, and company size. Skilled UI engineers proficient in front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks such as React or Angular tend to command higher salaries, especially in competitive markets.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a UI engineer?

To thrive as a UI Engineer, you need strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a solid understanding of user interface design principles, often backed by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with frameworks like React or Angular, version control systems such as Git, and design tools like Figma or Sketch is typically required. Attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication are crucial soft skills that set exceptional UI Engineers apart. These skills and qualities ensure the creation of visually appealing, user-friendly, and high-performance interfaces that meet user and business needs.

Job description

WE ARE GAME MAKERS

Who We Are:

We are a diverse team of developers driven by a passion for our art, united by our core values and inspired by a culture of inclusivity to build amazing games that thrill players everywhere. We pursue growth and innovation in an environment of safety and trust. Our culture is built on the belief that the more varied voices in our collective will strengthen our team and our games.  We are looking for our next teammate who will raise our bar and make us better.

What We Need:

We're seeking a Lead UI Engineer, to provide tech direction for our AAA multiplayer project and leadership for our team of UI engineers. In this role, you will design and build flexible, scalable, accessible, and high-performance UI systems using modern UE5 frameworks (CommonUI, MVVM, Enhanced Input), while partnering closely with engineers and cross-disciplinary teams. The ideal candidate has deep experience in all aspects of UI development - including hitch-free resource management, integration with latent backend services, support for a wide set of display devices and high frame rates, console-specific requirements, and live configuration.

What You'll Do:

  • Engage creatively with Design and Production on new features to identify opportunities, challenges and cost. 
  • Direct the technical design and implementation of the game's UI using highly supported / best-in-class patterns and UE frameworks.
  • Maintain robust solutions for asynchronous asset management and integration with latent backend services (e.g. inventory, matchmaking, live telemetry) while maintaining a responsive user experience.
  • Manage UI performance and memory budgets. Leverage GPU where needed to support competitive, high framerate play.
  • Ensure UI implementations meet first party certification requirements.
  • Build UI systems designed for global deployment - supporting dynamic text scaling, diverse font sets, complex string tables, and right-to-left languages.
  • Implement comprehensive accessibility features to support inclusive UX design.
  • Architect data-driven UI systems that support server-side configuration. This includes dynamic screen layouts, remote control reordering, friction reduction, and real-time promotions without requiring client patches.
  • Mentor a team of UI engineers, conduct code reviews, and develop workflows to improve the efficiency of the UI/UX design team.

What Will Make You A Great Fit:

  • 7+ years of professional game programming experience, including at least 2 shipped AAA titles in a Senior or Lead UI role.
  • Deep technical knowledge of Unreal Engine UI systems, specifically CommonUI, UMG, Slate, and MVVM patterns.
  • Expert C++ programming skills, specifically regarding asynchronous data handling, memory management, and C++/Blueprint interoperability.
  • Direct experience resolving UI-related console certification issues (TRC/TCR) for PlayStation and/or Xbox platforms.
  • Practical understanding of the Unreal material pipeline as applied to building performant UI materials and shaders.

Beneficial Qualifications:

  • Live Ops / F2P Experience: Proven experience working on a live-service or Free-to-Play game, with a strong understanding of commerce UI, dynamic content delivery, and player conversion funnels.
  • Action Game Background: Previous experience working on multiplayer shooters, action RPGs, or competitive games.

The pay range for this position in California at the start of employment is expected to be between $133,900 and $198,160 per year. However, base pay offered is based on market location, and may vary further depending on individualized factors for job candidates, such as job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and other objective business considerations.
Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for this position may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or equity awards and eligibility to participate in our 401(K) plan and Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Regular, full-time employees are also eligible for a range of benefi ts at the Company, including: medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance coverage; 14 paid holidays per calendar year; paid vacation time per calendar year (ranging from 15 to 25 days) or eligibility to participate in the Company's discretionary time off program; up to 10 paid sick days per calendar year; paid parental and compassionate leave; wellbeing programs for mental health and other wellness support; family planning support through Maven; commuter benefi ts; and reimbursements for fi tness-related expenses. Ontario only: The use of Artifi cial Intelligence is not being used to screen candidates. The position is for an existing vacancy.
