Game Artist

Here’s an opportunity for an experienced game artist to join a team of seasoned games makers and their recently funded start-up.

We have raised capital from the “who is who” of early stage gaming investors.
Our first game blends a casual/puzzle experience with a light metagame (think merging-puzzle meets Homescapes meta) and has been initially validated by upper percentile early retention and engagement metrics.

We now offer an opportunity for a 2D Game Artist/Illustrator to help us create the visuals of this brand new game. Among your responsibilities:
• Create amazing and consistent 2D characters, backgrounds and props from the first concept to the final asset ready for implementation.
• Build the world of the game keeping technical and artistic requirements in mind.
• Understand and empathize with the audience to create art they love.
• Work collaboratively with all members of the team.

Our company offers a choice between fully remote engagement in the “CET +/- 1hour” time zones as well as employment at their new Berlin base.

About you:

This would be the right role for you if you...
• want to make games that bring perpetual entertainment to players around the world.
• are a humble team player with strong curiosity in others’ views.
• have ~ 4 years of relevant experience in the videogames industry.
• gathered strong demonstrable artistic knowledge (line, shape, composition, light, color, rendering…).
• have a deep understanding of design, including architectural elements and props.
• gained experience creating isometric worlds and are familiar with tiling processes.
• enjoy learning new tools. Basics of Unity would be an additional super power.

More about us:

We create mobile games that are incredibly fun and can be enjoyed by players for a very very long time. We approach development as “data driven artists” who believe that an idea is only good if it works for the players. That’s why we develop in rapid iterative phases, being both passionate and data driven.

We have previously worked for renowned companies (Wooga, King, Wargaming, Good Games and Peak among others). We have shipped and worked on games that have generated hundreds of millions of euros, including a top 50 grossing game that our co-founder led from inception to release. We also have a couple of failures under our belt which qualify us even further for success.

Our games blend casual and midcore gameplay mechanics and will be supported with strong social layers, aiming to define a whole new category of perpetual games.

We have secured investment from some of the most iconic games entrepreneurs including Victor Kislyi, Founder & CEO Wargaming and Sami Lababidi, serial entrepreneur, co-founder & CTO Playfish, and others as well the leading early stage institutional investors Creandum (Spotify, Klarna, iZettle, Small Giant Games) and Initial Capital (Supercell, Space Ape Games).

We have a solid runway with sufficient capital to pay required contractors, test user acquisition, etc. Things are going well, our first game delivers convincing metrics and we are pushing hard but carefully towards a full release.

What else:

You will join a small interdisciplinary team of seven very experienced game professionals covering all aspects of art, engineering, data analysis as well as company leadership.

This is a permanent full-time contract. We offer competitive salaries, confirming that they can accommodate exceptional candidates, and as an early stage employee you could benefit from the equity package that would get allocated after passing a trial period.

We also provide visa sponsorship and full relocation assistance if required.

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for everyone who works here or with us, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion (or lack thereof) and game preferences.
