About the Role
We’re on the lookout for a skilled Technical Artist who knows how to bring art and code together in perfect harmony. If you’ve got an eye for detail, a knack for problem-solving, and a deep understanding of Unity, you might be just who we’re looking for.
In this role, you will focus heavily on breaking down and integrating our 2D and 3D assets into Unity, making sure they not only look great but run smoothly across all mobile devices. You’ll be hands-on from the start, working closely with both artists and developers to bring characters, environments, and visual effects to life.
You’ll spend time building out Animator components and state machines, tuning visual effects, and helping make sure everything behaves the way it should in-game.
We’re after someone who’s organized, methodical, and just as comfortable in Photoshop and 3D software (3Ds Max / Blender 3D) as they are deep in Unity’s pipeline. Whether you’re optimizing assets for performance or setting up materials, you’ll play a key role in keeping everything polished and production-ready.
This is a collaborative role, so good communication and solid time management are essential. If you love digging into the technical side of game art-and you get real satisfaction from making things feel just right, we’d love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
- Integrate completed 2D and 3D assets (such as characters, environment art, and visual effects) into the Unity game engine.
- Set up and organize Animation Controllers, Materials, and Prefabs for developer use
- Build VFX animations using custom Shaders and Particle Systems
- Optimize assets for performance across mobile platforms, focusing on draw calls, texture memory, and batching
- Collaborate with developers to ensure assets work within gameplay systems and adhere to technical constraints
- Support artists by creating tools, scripts, and documentation that streamline asset integration
- Troubleshoot pipeline issues and propose solutions to bridge gaps between disciplines
Requirements
- 3+ years experience in a Technical Artist or similar role, ideally in mobile or social games
- Strong proficiency in Unity3d game engine, with deep understanding of rendering pipelines, prefab workflows, materials, and UI setup
- Able to work with Adobe Suite ( Photoshop / After Effects ) and 3d software such as 3DsMax / Blender 3D
- Ability to work with artists and developers to translate creative intent into technical execution
- Keen eye for detail and a passion for visual polish and clean, efficient implementation
Preferred Extras
- Knowledge of shader creation with Shader Forge
- Scripting ability (C# or Python) to develop tools or pipeline automation
- Familiarity with audio software
- Experience in casino, hyper-casual, or monetized mobile games is a plus
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation and performance bonuses
- Flexible remote work environment
- Opportunity to work on high-visibility, fast-moving social casino titles
- Collaborative and supportive team that values technical innovation and creative execution
