SENIOR GAME ARTIST (GAME STUDIO)

We are expanding our Game Studio and are looking for a Senior Game Artist to join us. You will be part of an enthusiastic and highly skilled team, developing top-notch real-money games using modern in-house tools. The games you create will be widely distributed, in both domestic land-based and online channels. Working tightly with Veikkaus’ subsidiary Fennica Gaming, we are also bringing our games to international audiences.
We develop our games in small cross functional teams, working in close cooperation with other teams that are responsible for concept design, game technologies, backend, and QA. We strive to utilize agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban, and each team has the freedom to organize their workflow as they see fit.
As a Senior Game Artist, you will be part of a game’s whole cycle of design and development, focusing on creating art and visual assets. You apply your expertise in visualizing ideas - and bringing them to life in the final product - with high-quality art, animation, effects, and other visual elements that support the game’s mechanics, theme, play flow and feel. While guiding and helping other artists and possibly external partners with your expert knowledge, you will have the support of leads and other senior artists.

In addition to creative tasks, you take responsibility for planning the scope of game projects, while enabling communication and collaboration within - and between teams. You take part in developing the game studio’s existing materials and ways of working. Your main responsibilities are:

• Guide your team in defining and creating the game’s visual look and feel from big picture to tiny details. You communicate a common style and vision through the project.
• Creating and guiding other artists in the production of high-quality art and assets within the agreed-upon artistic direction.
• Communicating and cooperating with stakeholders and your team in turning design ideas into brilliant games. Helping define and uphold the best ways of working for the team, artistically and technically.
• Taking ownership of project scheduling and meeting deadlines, both with daily tasks and during the entire project, working independently while driving and prioritizing the art production of the whole team.

We have a steady backlog of great games waiting to be made and if you are the talented visual generalist with a passion for teamwork we are looking for - we cannot wait to meet you.
