Senior UI Product Designer, Slots & Arcade

About the role

We're looking for someone to dedicate themselves to improving the gaming experience inside of our RNG portfolio, with particular emphasis on our slots. It's our job to make sure that every part of the player's journey, especially when it comes to game design, is simple, intuitive, and most importantly, fun. That means working with key stakeholders across the business to help design and bring new user experience flows to life - all before a single line of code is written.

What you'll be doing

• Work closely with the ecosystem & slots team to help conceptualize and iterate new UI designs for customers. While the role's primary focus will be to execute and iterate through designs and prototypes, your input as part of the initial creative process is valuable. This will include participating in design reviews, team meetings, and brainstorming sessions.
• Create working design components and update design systems and patterns that are already in place. This may include many different sizes and breakpoints to accommodate all manner of devices, screen orientations, and resolutions. You will be very hands-on and need to understand the technical aspects of actual UI component design. The method by which you will create these components varies.
• Meet with stakeholders, product, business analysis, and development teams to discuss the designs and prototypes. While these can ultimately help aid define the specification, building the products may require clarification and assistance, particularly if the development team is replicating challenging design patterns, animation sequences, and transitions.
• Aid the teams with questions about the designs and to help guide the specifications. This will require flow and scenario testing, which may require revisions to the designs for edge cases.
• Present concepts clearly, concisely, and effectively to the team and to stakeholders.
• Adjust designs based on feedback from stakeholders or from broader technical challenges, constraints, or limitations that may arise during the production process.
• Prepare tidy, thoughtful, and well-structured source files for development and supervise their implementation to ensure they are delivered according to the original vision.
• Create high-fidelity concepts and designs from the outset. While we may occasionally use coarser wireframes, we typically dig directly into the details from the outset to flesh out issues and understand how it will work practically.
• Work with graphic designers and other design teams to bring gaming UI functionality to other areas of the business.
• When executing designs, you need to consider how it fits within the broader ecosystem and how we may want to address other areas (such as live casino) for consistency. This needs to be a measured and phased approach with a thoughtful application of prioritisation to address matters now versus later.
• Keep an eye on broader design trends and tools, especially within the gaming and entertainment spaces, to ensure that we are keeping up with best design practices and exceeding customer expectations.
• Provide thoughtful, considered feedback on the overall roadmap and user experience strategy.
