UE 5.8 UI Designer

**Responsibilities**

Budget: $1000

We’re looking for a talented UI/Widget Designer who lives and breathes Unreal Engine 5.8 to help craft the player-facing interface for OSP Defense.

In OSP Defense, every turret, gun, ability, and upgrade is represented as a playing card. The entire progression and loadout experience revolves around collecting, upgrading, and slotting these cards. Players can infuse any asset into any other asset to make it stronger — creating deep combinatorial systems.

We want the UI to feel like a premium, tactile TCG experience. Think the satisfying card handling and slotting feel of Magic: The Gathering or Hearthstone, but built natively in Unreal Engine widgets and fully integrated into a real-time action game.

Card inventory systems (browsing, sorting, filtering, inspecting)

Loadout / deck-building interfaces

Card infusion / combination UI flows

Drag-and-drop, slotting, and visual feedback for cards

Card detail views, tooltips, and upgrade previews

**Qualifications**

Must-have:

Strong, recent experience building polished UIs in Unreal Engine 5 (preferably 5.5+)

Deep familiarity with UMG / Common UI / Widget Blueprints

Proven ability to create tactile, satisfying card/inventory interactions

Strong visual design sense — composition, hierarchy, motion, feedback

Ability to work from existing art direction and maintain consistency

Nice-to-have:

Experience with card game or inventory-heavy UIs (TCG, RPG inventory, deckbuilders)

Knowledge of CommonUI, Enhanced Input for UI, or slate

Ability to prototype interactions quickly

Familiarity with performance considerations for complex widget hierarchies
