This is a rare opportunity.

An impactful position at a profitable, stable, self-funded studio.

And you? You’re a digital 2D artist.

You’re flexible, iterative, and quick.

You listen carefully to discover what the team needs from the art. You collaborate with openness. And you’re excited by working on a portfolio of 30 mobile games that touches tens of millions of players.
