UI/UX Designer - GOALS game studio (Stockholm or Remote)

Reimagine the future of what the best football game in the world can become

Imagine a player-experience-first game where all players, from beginners to professionals, feel right at home. Where everyone plays on equal terms and where skills truly matter.

Picture your name in the credits of that game, your name next to the very same people that have listened to your bold ideas, encouraged you and supported you along the way.

Envision being part of the studio that is creating what others thought was not even possible, a studio where voice, ideas, and traits are truly valued. Imagine being the first UI/UX Designer at GOALS - creating the foundation of our user interface and user experience design.

Now, take this vision - and bring it to life!

Your impact

As our first UI/UX Designer, you will be a key player in making the GOALS universe fun and accessible for all our players.

As this is a new role for us, you will have the creative freedom to build our user experience and user interface design process from scratch. You will design the UI/UX flow across the entire GOALS universe, including everything from our game, marketplace, and companion apps. With player experience as your top priority, your role will be to design the foundation of HOW our players interact with UI features in-game and out-of-game.

You will have the trust and mandate to drive the UI/UX agenda, but you will not be left alone. We will give you all the support that you need to succeed. You will collaborate in feature teams with people from different crafts, iterating your designs and watching them come alive in our game. And as we are developing GOALS together with our fantastic community, you will also be able to get community feedback along the way.

We are developing GOALS for everyone, which calls for many interesting opportunities from both a UI and UX perspective. In your role, you will tackle questions such as:

- What makes a good UX flow for new players compared to casual- and professional players?
- How can we customize the UI for different player groups while maintaining a high level of unity?
- How can we ensure that the game is truly esports ready? How do we meet the UI/UX needs of large audiences watching streamed matches?

- Design the UX flow to make it streamlined across the GOALS universe (game, marketplace, etc.)
- Design clickable UI prototypes for our modules and widgets

About GOALS

GOALS is a Stockholm-based AAA game studio founded in 2021.

Recognizing there wasn’t a fast-paced, competitive, multiplayer-focused football game on the market we decided to change that. Let’s bring football into esports for real! Bridging the gap between the real world and the digital, we’re building something more that is more than a game.

Humble in the way we work; embracing that skilled and passionate people are the heart and core of our studio. Not humble in our objective; creating the best football game in the world.

We are making a game that is more competitive, more inclusive, and more fun to play by utilizing the skill and talent within our team. Today we're 30 people developing GOALS: the AAA gameplay-first football game. Free to play, cross-play, multiplayer-focused, and esports ready.
