Game UI/UX Designer for Roguelike Adventure-Strategy Game

We are seeking a creative and experienced game UI/UX designer to perform a polish pass on a mechanically complete roguelike adventure-strategy game called Through the Shatter. The role involves conducting a thorough UI/UX audit, developing a cohesive visual design system with a dark-fantasy roguelike tone, and producing polished mockups of key screens. The ideal candidate has shipped game UI in their portfolio, preferably for PC/Steam titles with menu-heavy or strategy-adjacent interfaces, and is able to provide independent creative direction rather than merely executing existing layout ideas. Familiarity with game UI theming and asynchronous written communication are highly valued. This opportunity offers a set budget and timeline aligned with the game’s showcase at Steam Next Fest. For which tasks (responsibilities)? Conduct a detailed UI/UX audit of the current game build focusing on menu flow, ingame HUD elements, overworld map screen, inventory and upgrade interfaces, merchant and dialogue screens. Identify issues related to layout, hierarchy, spacing, and overall UI cohesion and clearly explain reasons behind these observations. Develop a cohesive visual design system including typography, color palette, panel and button treatments, and iconography direction consistent with the dark-fantasy roguelike theme. Create polished mockups of key game screens such as the main menu, HUD, map, and inventory using the established design system. Incorporate feedback and perform one revision round at each stage of deliverables to ensure alignment with project goals. Collaborate asynchronously with the game developer using provided builds, screen recordings, and detailed briefs. What kind of professional are we looking for?
