Top 3 Required

1. Advanced Design Education and Experience - Master's degree with at least 4 years of product or service design experience, or a Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of experience.

2. Proficiency in Design and Prototyping Tools - 3-5 years of experience using Figma, and other similar UI/UX design tools.

3. Expertise in Web UX and Responsive Design - 2-3 years of experience in responsive web design, including strong knowledge of layout systems, interaction patterns, and performance considerations for modern web platforms.

Portfolio: The best portfolio is a mix of real shipped work (important we see things they were able to realize), and hopefully some self-driven initiated projects that challenged the designer on a unique passion or pushed themselves for personal growth. The best portfolio also has a good balance of more analytical/technical/scientific thinking in their work presentation balanced well with visual fidelity of interface design. Sometimes a port sways too far in one direction or another, the team wants to see experience with both. Another highlight is previous experience in the gaming industry, and some dynamic interfaces. The team is looking for quality over quantity.
