Senior 3D Artist

Description

We’re Playdead, an independent game company based in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. We have made two critically acclaimed titles, LIMBO and INSIDE. Our current project is a sci-fi adventure set in a remote corner of the universe.

We are seeking a Senior 3D Artist with a strong portfolio of modelling, sculpting and texturing work. Your responsibility as a 3D Artist will be in designing, modelling and texturing assets for a third-person, open world game. You will work in coordination with the other artists on the team, as well as having some responsibility for guiding junior artists. We are particularly looking for a candidate who enjoys setting their own goals and taking responsibility for their own schedule.

We are a close-knit group of developers, and working within that group requires an ability to adapt to the existing visual style and methods while contributing your own ideas to the whole. More than anything, we are looking for someone who is excited about all facets of game development, as well as being passionate about gaming overall.

Come help us create unique game experiences

At Playdead, we are a team of 45 creative professionals, based in downtown Copenhagen, Denmark. Our approach to development does not include crunching towards arbitrary deadlines - instead, we particularly look for people who enjoy managing their own schedule and thrive on working within a friendly, collaborative environment. We love to make carefully crafted games with obsessive attention to detail and are always on the lookout for others who share that passion.
