The Role
Must have gambling experience and familiarity with slots or social games.
We’re looking for a versatile 2D Artist / Illustrator to help shape the look of our next-generation slot and casino games. You’ll be creating everything from characters and environments to logos, icons, and UI elements, taking ideas from concept through to polished, production-ready assets.
This is a role where creativity meets variety: one day you might be designing bold new characters, the next refining slick UI, and the next building immersive environments. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, developers, and other artists and animators to make sure our games don’t just look great - but feel great to play.
What You’ll Do
- Create high-quality 2D artwork (characters, environments, logos, icons, UI).
- Generate and refine concepts quickly, from sketch to final polish.
- Adapt to existing styles and brand guidelines while contributing your own ideas.
- Ensure assets are optimized and game-ready across multiple platforms.
- Collaborate with the wider team to keep everything consistent, cohesive, and engaging.
