Senior 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 Senior 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.

The scope of your contribution on each project
