Born from a desire to do things differently and strive to exceed creative and technological expectations, we've made our mark by transforming the visual storytelling landscape in the design of screen graphics, immersive virtual production experiences, and so much more.\nOur one-stop-shop approach, combining creativity with cutting-edge technology, has established us as a go-to partner for productions seeking to create compelling, visually stunning content.\nThe Opportunity\nWe are looking for someone with a natural eye for design who we can mentor to create interactive and moving UI design mockups for phones, tablets, and computers inside the worlds of film and television productions in Vancouver.\nWhile a natural gift for creating believable user interfaces is a must, we are willing to train the right candidate on motion design in After Effects and interaction design in ProtoPie. Any existing experience with those tools is a massive plus.\nAs a User Interface Designer, you will play a crucial role in shaping the digital landscapes of our film and television productions. You will collaborate with our experienced design team to create visually stunning and realistic mockups of operating systems, applications, and web pages for use on computers, phones, and tablets.\nWhat We Do\nScarab Digital creates story-driven screen graphics for film and television: operating systems, applications, websites, phone screens, tablet screens, computer screens, messaging moments, social interfaces, dashboards, and speculative UI/FUI worlds.\nThese graphics are not decorative. They need to read clearly on camera, feel true to the world of the story, and help move the narrative forward.\nWhat Makes This Role Different\nThis is not purely product UX design.\nThis is not template-based web design.\nThis is not decorative screen design for its own sake.\nThe job is to design interfaces that feel believable, cinematic, visually strong, and story-useful.\nWhat You Will Do\nWork closely with senior designers to understand project requirements and objectives.\nCreate detailed and visually compelling UI designs for operating systems, applications, and web pages.\nDesign mockups for phones, tablets, and computers inside film and television productions.\nEnsure that UI designs align with the overall visual style and narrative of the production.\nStay updated on industry trends and technological advancements to enhance the realism of digital interfaces.\nAnimate UI designs to address scripted beats.\nTranslate notes, references, and feedback into stronger production-ready design work.\nYou’ll Thrive Here If\nYou take ownership of your work instead of waiting to be managed through every step.\nYou are coachable, curious, and serious about getting better quickly.\nYou care about readability, typography, hierarchy, timing, and visual storytelling.\nYou can take direct feedback without defensiveness and turn it into better work.\nYou have the instincts of an A-player: accountable, resourceful, reliable, and committed to raising the standard around you.\nYou bring positive creative fuel to the team; the kind of energy that helps ideas move, problems get solved, and people trust you more over time.\nWho We Are Looking For\nWe seek individuals ready to live above themselves, embodying our core principles and contributing to our dynamic environment. Scarab Digital could be the right place for you if you align with these principles:\nAccountability: See it, own it, solve it, do it. Become part of the solution.\nProactivity: Act now and always ask, \"What else can I do?\"\nExcellence: Reject average and take personal ownership with pride.\nRespect: Care about others, their feelings, and the impact of how you communicate.\nContinuous Improvement: Ask for feedback by asking, \"What coaching do you have for me?\" and \"What can I do better?\"\nIf these principles resonate with you and you're ready to surpass average, let's see if you are the fit we seek. Your honesty in assessing your fit with our culture is crucial for your career and our company's success.\nTo Be an All-Star\nStrong portfolio showcasing UI design skills and an understanding of visual storytelling.\nEducation in Graphic Design, and knowledge of Interaction Design.\nStrong graphic design and typography skills.\nProficiency in design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, Figma, or similar.\nComfort working in Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects as part of a daily creative workflow.\nExcellent communication and collaboration skills.\nAbility to adapt to fast-paced production schedules and tight deadlines.\nClear evidence that you can create believable interfaces, not just attractive screens.\nSoftware Knowledge\nAdobe Illustrator or Figma\nAdobe Photoshop\nAdobe After Effects\nProtoPie bonus\nPortfolio\nPortfolio designs should be created entirely by you, without the aid of templates or AI. Feel free to submit school or personal projects. We want to see your best work and understand your eye for design.\nBecause we create interfaces for film and television, we are more interested in stunning visuals than UX breakdowns.\nRequired\nPhone app mockup, such as messages, social media, dating, or similar.\nWebsite mockup, such as a news article, forum, online store, or similar.\nBonus\nDesktop app mockup, such as a point-of-sale system, mapping interface, CCTV viewer, or similar.\nMedical device interfaces, such as vitals, ultrasound, MRI, X-ray, or similar.\nFUI / fantasy user interfaces, such as spaceship controls, mapping, comms, or similar.\nGaming interfaces, such as a pause screen, in-game overlay, or similar.\nBonus Skills\nExperience with motion graphics and animation.\nKnowledge of 3D design software is a plus.\nExperience with film, television, games, title work, or narrative screen graphics.\nComfort thinking in UI systems, not just one-off screens.\nThis Role Is Probably Not a Fit If\nYou need every creative decision over-prescribed before you can begin.\nYou treat notes as friction instead of part of making the work better.\nYou are more interested in decorative visuals than story-useful screen design.\nYou struggle with fast-moving deadlines, shifting production needs, or clear communication.\nYou want to rely on templates or AI-generated design work instead of showing your own visual judgment.\nWhy Work Here\nYou’ll collaborate with a company at the forefront of digital production.\nYou’ll thrive in a workspace that values creativity, dynamism, and groundbreaking ideas.\nYou’ll embark on a professional growth and leadership development journey in an environment that celebrates innovation.\nYou’ll work on real screen graphics that live inside film and television stories, where your design choices help shape what audiences see.\nA Note From Us\nIf you have a strong natural eye for UI design, care about story, and want to grow under mentorship while contributing to real productions, we would like to see your work. We care about talent, potential, ownership, coachability, and the quality of your eye. We also care about how people work with others.
