We are working on an unannounced, multi-platform third-person shooter in a realistic setting with innovative gameplay. The project is large-scale and ambitious both from a graphics and game design point of view, and from the technical perspective.

The start of a new project provides an opportunity to influence the key decisions on game feature and mechanics design, prototyping, development, and art. We create our own products and control all the steps of game development – from concept to final stage of implementation.

We are looking for a talented Technical Artist to join the team who is working on the procedural generation of game levels and their elements. They are also responsible for developing graphic systems and shaders, visual effects, and tools to improve working with game assets.
