As a member of the project, you’ll help take the studio and our game from great to even better—with a focus on inclusivity, mutual respect (for ourselves and our players), thoughtfulness, empathy, professionalism, and collaboration.


You’ll help us by…

Handling day-to-day tasks such as setting timelines and scheduling tasks together with Production

Being an ambassador for the Environment Art and supporting the department needs, while guiding the team to succeed and push quality to the next level.

Advocating healthy communication & coordination between art teams and across fields in a hybrid workplace environment that spans across multiple locations and time zones

Being a proactive, self-starter that can independently make progress and implement high-level direction

Researching, documenting and sharing relevant techniques, guides or inspiration material for other artists to learn from. Help resolve technical challenges across our tools and engine pipeline to unblock and accelerate production. Collaborate with Tech Art and help develop new tools to address unique project challenges


You’re awesome because you have…

Proven experience (8+ years) in the games industry working in an art capacity

Strong understanding of creating Environment Art assets in multiple major 3D and 2D packages (3DS Max, Maya or Blender, Zbrush, and Photoshop, Substance suite or equivalent) for console hardware (Xbox, PS, PC)

An inspiring portfolio that shows your expert eye for composition and storytelling through world-building, set dressing, and consistently high-quality art assets

Clarity in communication and demonstrates a problem-solving attitude

A proven track record to thrive in an ambitious environment and guide your team through open-ended problems

Creative and original ideas towards all aspects of game production and development that you share with the team

Excellent understanding of Physically Based Rendering systems and techniques

Overall strong understanding and passion for game art with the ability to discuss modern trends, identify future improvements to quality, workflows, tools and/or pipelines

Collaborate with the Design team to build map layouts and establish standardized metrics, ensuring an optimal balance between aesthetics and functionality that delivers outstanding gameplay.


Bonus points for…

Experience working with Photogrammetry-based asset workflows

Understanding of physically based lighting concepts and a proven skillset of showcasing your work in a professional, presentable manner

Enjoying of a wide variety of video game genres and titles
