What You Will Do

In this role, you’ll create dynamic and engaging visual effects—from celebratory animations and power-ups to micro-interactions and transitions—that elevate the game’s visual appeal and player experience. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional pods, UI/UX, and the broader Art team, and report directly to our in-house VFX Lead.

• Optimize effects for mobile platforms with performance and memory efficiency in mind.

What We’re Looking For

• A background in Design, Fine Arts, or equivalent professional experience.
• 2–4 years of relevant experience, with a portfolio showcasing real-time visual effects.
• Experience contributing to live game projects and a clear understanding of pipelines, scope, and dependencies.
• Ability to merge artistic creativity with technical limitations to deliver performant assets.
• Comfort with collaborative, feedback-rich environments and iteration.
• Self-driven, organized, and detail-oriented approach to work.
• Familiarity with Unity’s VFX tools and ability to troubleshoot basic issues.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive, team-first mindset.
