Game UI Lead

In 2011, we embarked on a mission to create immersive experiences for girls worldwide. Today, our game Star Stable Online stands as one of the most popular MMORPGs globally, with 21 million registered users across 180 countries. We continuously deliver unforgettable experiences to our players and can’t wait to share more stories and experiences with them. Would you like to help us deliver more magic to the world of Jorvik?

Game UI Lead

In Star Stable Online, the player might choose to team up with the soul riders to fight evil, or maybe they rather hang out with their friends and compete in different races. It’s up to them. We give our players the freedom to choose their adventure, and our enthusiastic community of players is one of our biggest assets. Now, we are looking for a Game UI Lead who’s ready to incorporate player feedback and ensure that we have a seamless and coherent gaming experience across all of our platforms.

The Game UI Lead will lead a team of designers and guide them on how to turn the creative vision from our directors into tangible UI design that gets into the hands of our players. You will design and implement high-quality UI and gameplay content, ensuring that these are fitting across several platforms and for our audience. Moreover, as you will be leading the design area, you’ll also be responsible for 1:1s, recruitments and welcoming new members to the team.
