Role
Who you are
- You are an experienced UI/UX designer with experience from the mobile game industry, which means you are comfortable designing for small screens and touch interaction
- You have experience working with at least one of the following aspects of games:
- Free to play
- Midcore
- Turn based strategy
- Live operations
- External IP
- You have experience implementing UI in Unity and enjoy working closely with other disciplines to bring features from concept through to release
- With your experience, you take responsibility for pushing quality, giving constructive feedback, and supporting your teammates in making clear, well-informed decisions
- You speak and write English fluently
- You enjoy shaping user experiences on mobile, and creating clear, intuitive interfaces that make complex strategy games easy to navigate
What the job involves
- As a Senior UI Designer at Snowprint, you’ll focus on the award-winning game Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus
- You’ll be trusted with ownership and have real influence in shaping the visual structure and interaction patterns of new features, while helping to evolve the overall UI direction of the game
- You will see the direct impact of your work in a live game with a dedicated audience and a tight release cadence
- Here, you will work in an environment where people support each other, where self-leadership is valued, and where curiosity and thoughtful solutions are encouraged
- You’ll be part of a design environment that cares deeply about clarity, usability and consistency, and where your experience will have a meaningful impact from day one
- You’ll design and implement UI for new features and live events in Tacticus, from early mockups and structure explorations to building layouts in Unity and bringing features all the way to release
- You’ll also update and refine existing UI where needed to improve clarity, consistency and the overall user experience
- Your daily work will involve design work in tools such as Figma, Google Slides and Photoshop, creating design decks for upcoming features, integrating UI in Unity, testing in-game and iterating based on feedback from both colleagues and players
- With Tacticus being a live game with a tight release cadence, you will see the impact of your work quickly and learn directly from real player behaviour
- While the focus is on UI, the role also includes UX-related work, such as contributing to user flows, clarifying interaction patterns and helping ensure that features are easy to understand and navigate

Our take
Over the years mobile devices have become more and more powerful, and as a result people playing games on them have begun to expect more from what's on offer than the relatively simple titles of yesteryear. Recognising this change in the market, mobile gaming veterans from King, DICE and Rovio came together to form Snowprint Studios, a games developer aimed squarely at the growing "midcore" gamer demographic: players who game daily and expect a little more depth than casual clickers.
Snowprint has to date produced three major releases: Legend of Solgard, Rivengard and Warhammer 40,000 Tactitus (based on the popular Games Workshop franchise). These games have attracted uniformly high reviews for their tight gameplay and high production values, and the company has grown a player base of millions across its properties.
Developing within the Warhammer franchise was a smart move for Snowprint, as it taps into a player base that is comfortable with repeated microtransactions (in its original incarnation, it was a rather expensive tabletop miniatures game where figures are bought individually or in small groups). An acquisition by Modern Times Group in 2023 meant that the Swedish game developer could utilise MTG's Flow Platform - a business intelligence tool. Its purchase will also allow Tacticus to expand to other platforms, expanding the reach of Snowprint's games.
