Description

We’re looking for a Technical Artist to join our award winning team conveniently located in Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur.

As a Technical Artist at Double Eleven, you’ll work closely with Artists, Programmers, Designers, Producers and QA as part of an experienced team where both your technical skills and creative vision will help shape creative content. You'll help drive, refine and document tech art best practices, working with the other disciplines to ensure standards and processes are reviewed regularly to ensure efficiency and quality, within a project.

As a global gaming company, we've enabled millions to conquer Minecraft Dungeons, battle in Rust Console Edition and create new adventures in Fallout 76.

Recently, we collaborated with Rockstar Games to bring Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 as well as partnered with Obsidian Entertainment on Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 and 5.

Double Eleven is a place where our people come first. Our 400-person team proudly represents over 30 nationalities.

We strive to avoid crunch, we offer flexible working hours to allow you to truly enjoy work/life balance whilst making great games and any overtime is always planned, optional and paid.

We can support Kuala Lumpur relocation and have a dedicated People and Operations team on standby to assist you.
