- Implement data-driven UI using ViewModels, view bindings, and MVVM principles in collaboration with UI Engineering
- Work within established C++-driven UI systems and understand how data moves between game systems and presentation
- Build UI accounting for screen sizes, safe areas, localization, accessibility, responsive scaling, and dynamic content
- Design controller-first navigation while supporting multiple input methods and platforms

- Strong technical UI implementation skills and understanding of UI architecture and component-based design
- Strong knowledge of UI and UX fundamentals, including layout, composition, hierarchy, interaction patterns, responsive behavior, and state management
- Ability to anticipate edge cases including localization, text overflow, dynamic content, scaling, changing data, and different input methods
- Experience designing UI for controller navigation and other input methods
- Experience considering performance and runtime cost during UI implementation
- Strong cross-functional communication skills and experience working closely with Design, Art, Engineering, and Production
