‍Giant Fox Studios is looking for a Senior Artist/UI Designer to work on an upcoming indie mobile game about helping dogs in a shelter! We are looking for someone that can help establish an art style for the game based on other references, competitors, and an existing library of dog assets that we have already completed.

Here’s a screenshot from the game currently:

Location

About Giant Fox Studios

Giant Fox Studios is a creative digital agency founded in 2011 that focuses on games, but also works in web and app development. We started off making Flash games for clients like Bored.com, which then expanded into taking on clients for mobile games. We now have consistent client projects that help fund the development of our own indie games. The team is made up of one founder, Jaime, and a wide range of contractors. This includes industry veterans that have worked on AAA games like Hearthstone, Madden, and DragonVale. Because of this structure, our team is very flexible and usually hired per project. However, many contractors choose to continue working with us on new projects that come up as well.

We care very much about the people we work with and strive to exceed expectations. We hope to be a significant, but not dominating, part of your life. We want you to have friends, family, hobbies, and a life outside of work. We work as a team - we want you to love your colleagues and to also know that they support you 100%. We want you to be proud of what you do and how you do it.

Since 2011 we’ve been a fully remote team. We generally have team meetings in the morning (US timezone), but outside of that, you are able to work whenever you’d like to. As long as you keep the team updated regularly, we are quite flexible.

We love learning from each other and have knowledge shares where a team member picks a topic they are passionate about to share. It’s an optional thing, but we love learning together and helping each other grow.
