We're an independent Stockholm-based studio where creativity drives everything – and now, we need another brilliant artist who understands both game design and player psychology to help craft visually stunning, high-performing slot games.


Why Thunderkick?

We do everything in-house, which means full creative freedom – from concept to final product. Small, passionate teams own their games, giving you the power to influence design, style, and direction.

  • A storyteller at heart – You love building rich, immersive concepts
  • Detail-obsessed – You refine and iterate until every pixel shines
  • A true team player – You believe the best games come from great collaboration
  • Open-minded – You welcome feedback and push creative boundaries

What You Bring:

  • Extensive experience in game development – 5+ years with online casino or casual games preferred
  • A strong portfolio that showcases polished, high-quality art and technical expertise
  • Ability to balance aesthetics with function, ensuring symbols, feature elements, backgrounds and characters support clear gameplay flow
  • Experience with concepting entire game themes, from mood boards to final production assets
  • Based in Stockholm

  • 3D Art: Modeling / Rendering / Animation: Maya, Blender, Zbrush or similar.
  • Typography & branding – Ability to design logos, text elements, and thematic assets

If you're a seasoned pro or believe you have the skills we're looking for and are ready to push the boundaries of slot game design, we want to hear from you. Apply now and help us craft the next generation of unforgettable games
