Responsibilities

• 2D Asset Ownership: Create and refine characters, environments, and UI elements that meet style, specifications, and project needs.
• Research & Experimentation: Test tools and techniques (including AI), compare results, and help define what becomes standard.
• Workflow Optimization: Support pipeline testing, identify gaps, and help develop scalable workflows.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with developers and QA to ensure assets integrate smoothly and perform reliably.
• Creative Contribution: Build mood boards and concept art - sharpen ideas visually and early.
• Process Documentation: Help ensure knowledge is captured, structured, and reusable.

Requirements

WHO YOU ARE

• Detail-Driven Visual Thinker: Your work is clean, consistent, and guided by intention - always leveling up quality.

• Curious Experimenter: You test, analyze, tweak - and learn from every result.
• Reliable Collaborator: You work well across roles, from early concepts to final integration.
• Calm Under Pressure: Shifting priorities don’t rattle you - they focus you.

WHAT YOU KNOW

• Solid Production Experience: 2+ years creating 2D art for games, preferably in the creative and gaming industry.
• Tool Proficiency: Photoshop and hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted creation.
• Concepting & Execution: From mood boards to pixel-perfect final assets.
• Pipeline Awareness: You understand export formats, asset specs, and game integration.
