Senior Game Artist

You’re a gamer yourself, and you know when art makes a game feel more exciting, satisfying, and alive. You care about more than how assets look in isolation: you make sure they work in the game and support the player experience. You’re a versatile game artist with a strong VFX background. You understand how timing, shape, color, and motion can bring gameplay to life, and you’re confident working in Unity, using shader workflows, and opening code to understand how things work. You balance visual impact with clarity, performance, and the realities of production. You bring a generalist perspective to the art pipeline, contribute practical art and art-tech guidance, and help turn early ideas into playable results. You challenge assumptions, iterate quickly, and polish with purpose. Sound like you? Then apply now and let’s work on awesome games together.

  • Provide art and art-tech guidance across production, helping teams turn the game’s vision into practical, achievable work.
