Character Artist - Games

As a Character Artist at Embark you will play an important and creative role being part of designing, building and implementing the characters and creatures.

You will work closely to programmers, animators, technical artists, technical animators etc. to be part of changing how we build characters in the future, within games and digital entertainment.

Your passion is to surprise players with well-tuned and beautifully built experiences. You enjoy a variety of games — sometimes deconstructing and analyzing, other times just playing.

You think hard about how players explore and experience games, and you imagine a future where players can be part of creating their own unique experiences.

You know that experimenting is a gamble. But you have a knack for choosing the smartest route, and you know when it’s time to declare success or failure. You make sure to balance meaningful innovation with executing best practices.
