We're seeking a Senior/Principal Environment Artist to join our team. As a key member of our Art team, you will elevate the visual language of our first IP, translating our established world into immersive environments where every vista serves the story and every layout is purpose-built for competitive gameplay.
\nYour primary responsibility will be building high-quality, in-game environment art that brings the world of Arkheron to life – architecture, materials, props, vistas, and set dressing. You will own environment assets end-to-end, from concept or blockout through final in-engine implementation. Additionally, you will create fully realized architectural kits, ensuring they are visually cohesive, performant, and flexible for level design.
\nYou will partner closely with design, lighting, engineering, and other art disciplines to ensure environments support gameplay, readability, and visual storytelling. You will balance artistic fidelity with gameplay and technical needs, making smart tradeoffs that serve player experience. You will conduct research and gather reference to push quality, authenticity, and cohesion across the world.
\nAs a key contributor to our team, you will help shape the visual language and identity of a new IP. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, pushing work forward in a small, evolving team without needing rigid structure. You will wear multiple hats, using your experience to contribute beyond pure asset creation when it benefits the game.
\nTo succeed in this role, you should be a strong, self-directed world builder who can take an idea from a rough sketch to a polished, in-game environment. You should have deep experience creating AAA-quality environment art, ideally with at least one shipped AAA title. You should bring a sharp eye for organic forms, architecture, materials, color, composition, and spatial storytelling.
\nYou should be proficient with industry-standard tools (Maya or equivalent, ZBrush, Photoshop, Substance, and real-time engines). You should understand the realities of game development pipelines, including optimization, lighting, PBR materials, UVs, and engine constraints. You should think developer- and product-first, caring about how environments affect gameplay, flow, and player experience.
\nYou should thrive in highly collaborative, cross-disciplinary teams, and communicate clearly with partners across the studio. You should be comfortable working through ambiguity and taking initiative without waiting for perfect direction. You should value trust, openness, and diverse perspectives.
\nIf you're a growth-minded individual who enjoys learning, experimenting, and refining your craft, and want to make a meaningful impact in a tight-knit studio where your work visibly shapes the game, we'd love to hear from you.
