We know that this can mean something different across employers. For us, this means we are looking for someone who has foundational game art experience that they can contribute to the role. This may be from education, personal projects or professional work. We are looking for someone who will be confident working collaboratively with a small team, and can quickly learn new styles and technologies, even if you are still early in your game art career. You will be expected to learn quickly and take on independent work, but with support expected.</p><h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">Within 1 month, you’ll…</h3><ul class="list-disc list-inside my-5 pl-5 space-y-2 text-gray-700"><li class="leading-relaxed">Build relationships with your peers, to understand the collaboration between your roles.

We find the normal approach to be far too prescriptive. Defining explicit qualifications and requirements would be us defining how you should have acquired a certain skillset. What these generally achieve is intimidating those who don’t fit the mold to not apply. That’s not our style. In an effort to be inclusive and clear, we take a more descriptive approach. Read through the opportunity and the description of the work you’ll be doing. Decide for yourself if the work excites you, and is something that you are able to rise to the challenge of.</p><h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">Benefits</h3><ul class="list-disc list-inside my-5 pl-5 space-y-2 text-gray-700"><li class="leading-relaxed">Unlimited paid time off, with a 2-week minimum</li><li class="leading-relaxed">Flexible hybrid schedule, with a focus on in-office</li><li class="leading-relaxed">Health Spending Account of $3000/year</li><li class="leading-relaxed">Charitable matching of $2000/year</li><li class="leading-relaxed">Investment in professional development</li><li class="leading-relaxed">Access to the benefits above without a probationary period</li></ul>
