Happy Volcano is on the lookout for an experienced artist who will help the team bring the visual style of our games to the next level. If you’re not afraid of experimenting and coming up with new styles within a set timeframe, you might be the person we’re looking for. You won’t just be modeling assets and painting textures, but we expect you to challenge us with useful ideas and concepts that may end up making our games better and become more immersive experiences.
We are excited about candidates who value efficiency, have a pragmatic approach to problem solving and an eagerness to learn new things. We're looking for a positive, active, and contributing team member with good communication skills.
Candidates from under-represented backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
You would be a great fit if...
- You are proficient in making sketches to communicate your ideas to the team
- You have experience in the Blender software for 3D modelling and unwrapping
- You have experience in Substance Painter and/or Substance Designer
- You are familiar with the Unity game engine
- You have the basic skills in 2d software like Photoshop
- You have no trouble of either adapting to an existing art style, or coming up with your own
- You rock at making killer textures and skins for in-game objects
- You're fluent in English
It would be even better if...
- You have 2D illustration skills
- You have the ambition to take a leadership role in our art department
- You can create polished particle effects
- You have experience in basic animations (not character rigging)
What you'll get...
- A full time position
- An appropriate salary
- A small team of friendly colleagues
- A life outside the office, because seriously, work is not all that matters.
