  • Manage and guide the art team throughout the production process
  • Balance artistic elements with technical constraints
  • Provide leadership and constructive feedback to ensure high-quality output
  • Work with various teams at all stages of development
  • Enhance and grow our pool of artistic talent; participate in recruitment efforts
  • Optimize art pipeline efficiency; elevate quality and production processes

  • Strong foundation in art fundamentals, drawing skills, and artistic culture
  • Knowledge of current real-time rendering technologies and ability to lead Engine/Technical Art teams
  • Proficiency in Photoshop and 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max)
  • Highly creative, collaborative, and empathetic approach
  • Excellent skills in problem-solving, organization, communication, interpersonal relations, presentations, and mentorship

About The Company

Our story began with our first game, Arma: Cold War Assault, released back in 2001. Developed by just a handful of people, this PC-exclusive title became a massive success. It sold well over a million copies, received numerous industry awards, and was praised by critics and players alike. Since then, we've grown from a ragtag bunch of garage devs to an international family of over 400 professionals – working on major games like Arma 3, DayZ, Ylands, Vigor, and various other projects. Our ambition: to make games that act as platforms for people to explore, create, and connect.
