About the role
We are looking for a creative and versatile Game Artist to help shape the visual direction of our games from concept through to production.
This hybrid role combines visual development, game art, UI/layout design, mock-up creation, and AI-assisted content production. Working closely with producers, developers, and stakeholders, you will help define how our games look and feel, creating engaging player experiences across slots, casino, instant win, and casual games.
You will be responsible for translating game concepts and client requirements into strong visual experiences, producing layouts, mock-ups, artwork, and production-ready assets that support gameplay, usability, and player engagement.
Experience with Spine 2D animation, motion design, or similar animation tools is highly desirable, but not essential. We are happy to support the right candidate in developing their animation skills.
We use AI-assisted workflows where appropriate and are looking for someone who is comfortable using AI tools to support ideation, asset creation, iteration, and production efficiency while maintaining high creative standards.
