Prior industry experience is not needed, although you will be expected to be able to both collaborate and work independently, troubleshoot technical issues, all while maintaining a demanding workload in a fast-paced environment.

You are responsible for creating and implementing high quality images and animations using a 3rd party tool (Coherent Gameface), working with our gameplay programmer. As the UI artist you’ll be driving the team to make sure the high-quality standard is always met. A thorough understanding of game pipelines and gameplay mechanics is essential in this role.
Communication, approachability and proactivity is vital for this role, as you will be expected to engage with other artists to drive content and new concepts through.
