## Description

### The Opportunity

UserWise is looking for a Senior UI Motion & VFX Artist to help bring a premium mobile F2P game experience to life.

This role will own the motion, feedback, and visual polish that make the game feel exciting, responsive, and rewarding moment-to-moment. You’ll work closely with UI/UX, art, design, product, and engineering to create polished UI animation, reward feedback, transitions, and visual effects that support clarity, player motivation, and mobile performance.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how to make mobile game UI feel premium, satisfying, and alive.

We are prioritizing candidates based in Serbia, Romania, Portugal, Turkey, Brazil, or Poland.

### What You’ll Do

-   Create polished UI animations, transitions, and interaction feedback for mobile gameplay, menus, events, offers, and reward flows.
-   Design reward and celebration VFX such as coin bursts, glows, sparkles, light sweeps, multipliers, prize reveals, and win moments.
-   Bring static UI screens to life with strong timing, pacing, anticipation, impact, and readability.
-   Partner with UI/UX Designers to improve hierarchy, clarity, and emotional impact through motion.
-   Partner with Game Designers and Product to reinforce key player motivations such as rewards, progression, streaks, bonuses, and achievement.
-   Work with Unity Engineers to implement, tune, and optimize UI animation and effects in-game.
-   Help create reusable motion patterns and feedback systems that can scale across features.
-   Maintain high visual quality while respecting mobile performance, memory, and production constraints.

### Why This Role Matters

Great mobile game UI is not just functional; it needs to feel rewarding, responsive, and emotionally satisfying. In this role, you’ll help define the motion and feedback language that makes key moments feel premium, clear, and fun for players.

## Requirements

### What We’re Looking For

-   Senior-level experience creating high-quality UI motion, animation, and/or VFX for mobile F2P games, typically with 5+ years of relevant game industry experience.

-   Strong understanding of animation principles, including timing, easing, anticipation, follow-through, impact, staging, and rhythm.
-   Ability to create motion that improves clarity and emotional payoff, not just visual decoration.
-   Experience working with game engines, ideally Unity.
-   Strong understanding of premium mobile game polish, F2P reward presentation, and player motivation.
-   Comfortable collaborating with UI/UX Designers, Artists, Game Designers, Product Managers, and Engineers.

-   Experience creating particle effects, shaders, animated materials, or light/glow treatments.
-   Experience supporting LiveOps features, events, offers, bundles, reward screens, and monetization flows.
-   Experience creating motion style guides, reusable animation libraries, or UI feedback systems.
