We are a crowdfunded company and have a dedicated and enthusiastic community of backers who are helping us create the “Best Damn Space Sim Ever”. We want to build the best we can deliver and we believe wholeheartedly in the value of exceptional diverse talent.
Our UI programmers get the unique opportunity to develop exceptional and ground-breaking User Interfaces, unlike any other game - with 3D holograms and in-world screens that are networked and visible to all players.
You will be creating UI systems and tools to visualise complex gameplay and support player interaction in the dynamic open world of Star Citizen.
You will work with our designers to create UI systems for a range of vital areas such as real-time maps and navigation, vehicle HUDs, weapon screens and transit networks.
