In this role you will create artwork that inspires game designers, informs level designers, and provides actionable visuals for our Environment Art team.

What we're looking for
• Experienced Senior Environment Concept artist, with experience contributing to AAA titles
• Strong understanding of art fundamentals, multiple art styles, anatomy, color theory, and lighting
• Experience in world-building with wide variety and broad appeal
• Understanding of what makes strong key art, and how to break key art down to digestible work for 3D modelers needing to retain metric and gameplay goals
• Understanding of Unreal Engine, with the ability to problem solve alongside an Environment Artist
• Utilization of 3D packages to help quickly iterate on work
• A passion for game development and the ability to both inspire and execute
