Overview

Lingokids is a global leader in educational technology, helping families raise amazing kids through Playlearning. We are a fully remote company with offices in Madrid; we celebrate a multicultural team and a mission to empower children with modern learning experiences that combine educational subjects with essential life skills.

We collaborate with top education experts to deliver an engaging, high-quality learning experience in a safe, ad-free environment. We have earned industry recognition for our products across app, podcast, and video categories.

We are looking for a Sr. 2D Game Artist to bring playful, high-quality art to life for our content. You will shape our visual style, mentor junior artists, and ensure our graphics are engaging, inclusive, and aligned with educational goals.

What you\'ll do

• Produce high-quality, recognizable artwork aligned with our brand identity.
• Adapt to the established visual style, including color palette, shapes, and character expressions/poses.
• Ensure artwork aligns with visual guidelines defined by the Art Director.
• Understand and anticipate usability needs for interactive products designed for children, applying this to visual design.
• Manage time effectively and meet deadlines to prevent bottlenecks in the workflow.
• Foster clear communication with cross-functional teams to uphold usability, gameplay, and educational standards.
• Collaborate with fellow artists and production teams to ensure smooth workflows and prevent bottlenecks.
• Guide and supervise junior colleagues or those without prior professional experience.
• Maintain organized asset libraries, folders, and character documentation for consistency and efficiency.
• Promote inclusivity and educational awareness through visual storytelling, reflecting diversity and social consciousness in designs.
• Act as a reference point for the proper use of characters and visual assets across the company.

What you\'ll bring

• 5+ years of experience as an Illustrator, Graphic Designer or 2D Artist in the creative or gaming industry, ideally on children\'s products or interactive content.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop (or equivalent tools).
• Proven track record of creating high-quality, stylised, and recognisable character designs and graphics.
• Strong style adaptability: ability to follow and maintain a consistent visual style in line with existing art direction.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a passion for delivering polished, production-ready artwork.
• Strong empathy and communication skills to collaborate with product, UX, engineering, and education teams.
• Comfortable giving and receiving structured feedback, conducting performance reviews, and mentoring team members.
• Natural problem-solver with a positive and proactive mindset.
• Organised and self-managed, able to juggle multiple projects while supporting the broader team.

English is a must: we are a multicultural team delivering services in English, so fluency is essential. As a fully remote company, clear and effective spoken and written communication—especially in asynchronous, long-form formats—is key to collaboration.
