  • We're a dynamic, independent studio of over 1200 passionate employees, with studios in Toronto (Behaviour Toronto), Rotterdam (Behaviour Rotterdam) and in the UK (Behaviour UK-North & South).
  • Our day to day revolves around two core business focuses: Services and Original Games.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end player experience across core journeys such as menus, HUD, onboarding, progression, crafting, and survival loops.
  • Be deeply hands-on in the short term, driving UX architecture, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and direct design execution.
  • Partner closely with Design, Production, Engineering, Product, and User Research to rapidly iterate and ship improvements into the live game.
  • Build UX pipelines and scalable design systems that support major updates, new features, and long-term franchise growth.
  • This is a rare opportunity to become the first dedicated UX leader on the game, building the discipline from the ground up while staying deeply hands-on in the short term.
  • Working closely with Design, Production, Product, Engineering, User Research, you'll help bring clarity, usability, and the right level of tension to a game where every decision matters.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in UX, including 2+ years in leadership within video game production.
  • Strong hands-on expertise in UX architecture, player flows, wireframing, prototyping, and systems-heavy gameplay experiences.

Nice to have

  • Plus de 8 ans d'expérience en UX, dont plus de 2 ans en leadership au sein de la production de jeux vidéo.
  • Capacité démontrée à construire des bases UX, des pipelines ou des équipes à partir de zéro.
  • Solide expertise pratique en architecture UX, parcours joueur, wireframes, prototypage et expériences de gameplay axées sur des systèmes complexes.
  • Excellente compréhension du comportement des joueurs, de l'utilisabilité, de l'accessibilité et des boucles d'engagement à long terme.
  • Fort sens du produit, en utilisant la recherche, la télémétrie et les retours des joueurs comme des leviers d'aide à la décision, et non comme des béquilles.

Benefits

  • Define the UX/UI vision and establish the foundations of the discipline, including principles, standards, documentation, and future team structure.
  • We value folks of all ages, sex, ethnicity, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, civil status, disability, or any other protected characteristics as per applicable law.
