Lead UI/UX Designer

Cubic Games is a game development studio, part of the GDEV holding. We’ve grown from a small team into a leading game dev studio with more than 140 specialists. Our mission is to create unique pixel games, including the popular Pixel Gun 3D with an audience of over 3 million monthly players. For our new cross-platform shooter Pixel Gun 2, we’re looking for an experienced Lead UI/UX Designer to take ownership of the UI/UX direction: quickly get up to speed with the existing system, raise consistency and quality, and keep evolving the product. This is not building from scratch — it’s developing a live product with an established team.

What You’ll Do

• Own the UI/UX direction of the project and ensure consistency and quality of the interfaces.
• Lead and develop the UI/UX team — UI/UX designers, UI engineers (front-end/layout), and UI artists.
• Design key features end-to-end, from UX flows to final implementation in the build.
• Plan the direction’s work: decomposition, prioritization, control of timelines and quality, and managing dependencies with adjacent teams.
• Maintain and evolve the design system.
• Work closely with development and QA on UI integration and performance.
• Improve UI/UX workflows and documentation.
• Apply modern tools, including AI, to increase speed and quality.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Lead UI/UX Designer (or a Senior with leadership responsibilities ready to own a direction).
• Systems thinking — the ability to see the product and interfaces as a single system, maintain consistency, and understand dependencies, priorities, and planning.
• Deep mobile F2P experience and a strong grasp of meta and monetization: battle pass, quests, rewards, offers, subscriptions, progression, retention.
• Strong hands-on UX/UI expertise — the ability to quickly assess existing solutions, give high-quality feedback, and propose strong interface solutions without a long ramp-up period.
• Experience working both with existing interfaces and designing new ones from scratch.
• Experience working with a team and an ownership mindset.
• Mobile F2P project experience is required.
• A portfolio with real UX/UI cases and a clear personal contribution.

Nice to Have

• A product design background (analytics, UX research, working with hypotheses and A/B testing).
• Cross-platform development experience (mobile / PC / consoles).
• Understanding of UI implementation in Unity (Unity UI, engine constraints, performance).

What we offer:

• Official employment according to the Labor Code of Armenia or Cyprus, or a remote work contract.
• Flexibility in choosing the workplace: remote work or visiting offices in Armenia or Cyprus as desired.
• Relocation package and assistance with obtaining residence permits in Armenia, including for family members.
• 21 working days of vacation, 3 additional days off per year, and sick leave compensation up to 100%.
• Comprehensive Health Insurance from the first working day in Armenia or Cyprus.
• Professional Development Support: course, conferences, and opportunities to participate in department workshops and masterclasses.
• Corporate online and offline events and presents for various holidays.
