2D Game Artist

We are looking for talented illustrators to join our awesome artistic team! 🎨

WHO ARE WE?

Our team currently consists of 19 brilliant animators and illustrators from whom you can learn and who will make sure you grow as an artist. The everyday job of an artist in Nanobit includes drawing characters, environments, assets, cut scenes, animations, and loading screens - basically, all visuals that do not include the user interface. All our art is done digitally and the tools we use on a daily basis are Photoshop, Illustrator, Spine, Blender and After Effects, while our illustrators work on a Wacom Cintiq or a tablet (Wacom Intuos or Huion display). 🤩

HOW WILL YOU CONTRIBUTE?

• Work on existing games in accordance with their style
• Create new characters, themes and graphics for upcoming games
• Work in a team of designers and artists
• Animate characters and create visual effects (not a necessary condition, so feel free to apply even if you have no experience with animation)

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO UNLOCK THIS ROLE?

• Ability to efficiently express your high level of creativity and meet the goals of the project by working independently
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• Adaptability to different styles and an understanding of the importance of maintaining a unified visual style throughout a game
• Strong communication skills, recognizing it as a key factor for successful teamwork
• Openness to constructive feedback on your work
• Accountability for your tasks and their results

WHAT WILL SET YOU APART? 

• Experience with Stable Diffusion and other Ai tools
• Experience with 3D graphics and Spine

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE?

• Financial benefits: On top of a competitive salary, we offer additional financial benefits, such as a Christmas bonus, Easter bonus, and summer bonus, as well as referral bonuses and fully covered transportation expenses.
• Professional development: As the gaming industry evolves and grows, so will you! We promise a structured and smooth onboarding process, complete with scheduled feedback sessions and support from both a mentor and a buddy. To keep you and your team on the cutting edge of industry trends, we also provide a team budget for ongoing education.
• Fostering team connection: You’ll be joining an amazing team of talented individuals who form a closely knit community. We actively support team connection through various internal workshops that facilitate knowledge and skills sharing. Additionally, we host exciting quarterly parties, an annual off-site teambuilding event (check out this video from our last adventure!), engaging pub quizzes, and our creative internal game jam. Our team also has the opportunity to propose ideas for new games, fostering a strong sense of ownership and purpose.
  
• Work-life balance: We are deeply dedicated to our work, but also understand the importance of switching off and recharging. To support this, we offer flexible working hours, allowing you to start your day anytime between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m, along with an hour-long lunch break and 24 days of annual leave. Our flexible work model allows you to choose the environment where you work best, whether that’s from home, the office, or a mix of both. During your onboarding period, we’ll ask you to work from the office to get acclimated and connect with the team, but once you're up to speed, you'll have the freedom to select the work arrangement that suits you best.
  
• Well-being: Your well-being is our priority. We support it by covering your monthly Multisport card membership and providing a free annual health check-up. Enjoy healthy (and indulgent) snacks, a free daily lunch when working from the office, and occasional discounts on various services and products.
  
• Family benefits: Parents, you are included too! We offer kindergarten compensation and a special baby bonus for soon-to-be parents. 

If this sounds like the perfect opportunity for you, we look forward to your application! Please apply with a cover letter and a CV. 😊 
Please include your portfolio (provide a link to your website/online portfolio). Applications without it will not be taken into consideration.
Take a look at our games to get a sense of our current style. We also encourage you to showcase your ability to adapt to different styles in your portfolio.

WHAT’S NEXT?

• Initial Screening: We’ll start by reviewing all applications to identify those best suited for the position. If you’re not selected this time, please feel free to apply again in the future; we’d be happy to consider your application.
  
• Practical Assignment: To give you a clearer picture of the role and help us assess your fit, you'll first have to complete a practical assignment from home. You’ll have 2 weeks to complete it.
  
• First Interview: Candidates who excel in the assignment will be invited to an interview. This will combine a culture fit assessment with a technical evaluation to further explore your suitability for the role.
• Final Interview: If you advance to this step, it means you are among the top candidates for the role. A final interview with our Head of HR and Department Head will be scheduled to discuss your fit for the role and address any remaining questions. :)
• Final Decision
