Lead Artist
Description
We’re looking for a great artist who loves leading a team as much as
making stuff. Do you find yourself juggling multiple projects because
people keep trying to add you to their team? Do people go to you first
for questions or guidance? Have you figured out how to take raw assets
and get them working in-engine? Are you a jack of all trades, master of
some? Do you regularly put finishing touches on the team’s output, just
as often as you give art direction? That’s who we’re looking for - the
accelerant that makes an art team go faster, run smoother, and deliver
great looking art.

- Support an art team - provide guidance, encouragement, approvals, direction, and a good poke when necessary
- Make art for our games! From the first proofs-of-concept to performant, beautiful assets
- First-in on new projects, comfy working closely with engineering on art pipelines, methods, and tools
- Know a little bit about everything, be a little bit everywhere, catch mistakes before they happen
- Help interview and grow the art team
- Share your techniques and mentor folks
- Provide direction for external artists/teams
- Critique your own and others' work constructively, and raise our internal artistic bar
Qualifications:
- 1+ shipped mobile title as Lead
