Reykjavík, Iceland
Posted on Mar 13, 2026
CCP Games is seeking a Senior UI/UX Designer to join the EVE Frontier team on-site in our Reykjavík studio.
In this role, you will shape the player experience in a persistent, player-built universe defined by scarcity, risk, and consequence.
Frontier is a dark, hard science fiction universe forged by collapse and hostile space. Players do not arrive as heroes; they awaken in the ruins of a broken world and must rebuild it through risk, ingenuity, and conflict.
You will define how that struggle feels: how players navigate danger, understand their tools, fight, build, and reclaim space in a universe that does not bend to them.
