  • Art quality control on the project.
  • Work in casual style.

What We Expect:

  • Gamedev experience at least 3 years.
  • High level of expertise in your specialization: You know what it means to work with idea generation, and regardless of the complexity of the task you can achieve a predictable result of high quality.

Would Be a Plus:

  • Familiarity with 3D.

We don’t expect you to know and be able to do everything equally well. First and foremost, the job of a Lead Game Creative 2D Artist is to maintain and develop the artistic style of the project, bringing in new ideas. To feel comfortable in this role, you should have a strong artistic vision, be interested in the gaming market, and be able to communicate effectively with professionals from different fields.

What We Offer:

  • Flexible Work Conditions – Fully remote format with no office restrictions. Convenient flexible schedule and transparent processes.
  • Development & Learning – Internal education system that includes workshops, webinars, and hackathons. Compensation for English and other language courses.
