Web Design Engineer (Games UI)
Frankfurt Programming / Engineering Hunt: Showdown 1896
At Crytek we're building a scalable UI platform powered by a Design System implemented in Coherent Gameface (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
Instead of building UI screen-by-screen, we are creating reusable components and architecture that power Hunt: Showdown and future Crytek titles.
We’re looking for a Web Design Engineer to help build this system - translating Figma components into production-ready UI and shaping how UI is developed across Crytek.
This is an opportunity to build the UI foundation for multiple games, not just individual screens.
We welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds and experiences who are excited about building thoughtful, scalable UI.
This position is based in Frankfurt, Germany.
An online portfolio with updated work samples is necessary. Your portfolio should demonstrate the following:
* The scope of your contribution on each project
* Visual polish and attention to detail
* A strong sense of UX, both in your work and how your portfolio itself is organized
* Clean, well-structured code
* Thoughtful use of modular UI components
Back to all jobsWhat you'll Do
1. Build reusable UI components using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
2. Implement scalable UI architecture using Coherent Gameface
3. Translate Figma design system components into production-ready UI
4. Assemble UI screens from reusable components
5. Improve the design to development pipeline, including tooling and workflows
6. Collaborate with UX, UI art, and engineering to deliver a modern UI pipeline
7. Help define and scale the UI platform used across future Crytek projects
What you bring

9. Strong skills in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript
10. Experience building component-based UI systems
11. Good understanding of UI architecture and performance
12. Strong passion for games
13. Experience collaborating closely with design teams
