TEAM

You will be an integral part of a newly established internal studio, a dynamic and focused team dedicated to one of our most promising prototypes in scale. This studio is specifically chartered to improve this high-potential game up to the successful and market-ready title it is meant to become.

In this role, you'll work across our midcore game portfolio, contributing your artistic leadership to titles that have already demonstrated strong core mechanics and real player engagement.

You'll have the opportunity to drive the growth and visual refinement of our midcore titles, leveraging their existing traction to build truly exceptional player experiences. This is a unique chance to join a project pipeline with established momentum, while having a defining impact on the creative direction within a dedicated and agile studio environment.

• Proven experience as an Art Director or Senior Lead Artist on at least one shipped mobile title, ideally within the midcore genre.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of a game's visual identity, from early concept through to live product.
• Deep understanding of the visual language of midcore games — including character design, environment art, UI/UX, and combat feedback systems.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and develop multidisciplinary art teams in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
• Hands-on proficiency in Unity, with the ability to implement, integrate, and optimise assets directly in-engine.
