• Create effective marketing assets to support launch and drive conversion, including 2D assets, trailers, and store art
• Collaborate with other artists and developers to improve the game
• Be available during US EST or PST time zones to collaborate with the team

Requirements

• Technical art ability in Unity, with comfort in the Editor code for materials, shaders, lighting, and asset optimization across multiple build targets
• Multi-platform experience, understanding trade-offs between VR, PC, and console targets
• Design instinct to take a space from gray box to shipped, with deliberate choices on how players move through it
• Experience using Blender, Unity, Figma, and Adobe tools
• Demonstrated creativity with a focus on unique characters and atmospheric environments
• Bonus: quick 2D concept art or hand sketches, Editor tooling that speeds up the art team, and experience with AI-assisted art or pipeline tools
