Game UI Expert / Unity UI Designer

Platform: PC / Steam

Engine: Unity

Availability: Full-time or Part-time

Location: Remote

Quick Note About Compensation

This role works on a revenue-share basis rather than a monthly salary.

We are a new independent studio developing multiple PC games for the Steam platform, and we prefer a simple, transparent collaboration model:

You contribute to the project →

Once the game launches →

You receive your agreed share of the revenue.

This is not a co-founder offer and not a large equity stake. It is a straightforward revenue-share collaboration for creative game UI specialists who enjoy building polished games with a small, dedicated team.

If that sounds reasonable, please keep reading.
