Description du poste

At ZeptoLab, we're looking for a Senior Generalist Artist to join our team, working across our established titles and new game projects.

This is a hands-on role for a versatile artist who is equally comfortable working across 3D and 2D, implementing their work in Unity, and shaping the visual direction of a game.

What you'll do

• Create, iterate and implement 2D/3D/UI assets, animations and VFX in Unity for mobile games.
• Help establish and maintain the visual style of new game concepts.
• Work closely with Game Designers and Developers from early prototypes through production.
• Turn gameplay ideas and design requirements into clear and effective visual solutions.
• Iterate rapidly based on gameplay feedback, performance requirements and player needs.
• Contribute your own visual ideas and proactively suggest solutions.
• Estimate, prioritise and plan your work to support fast-paced prototyping and production.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience in both 3D and 2D game art.
• Hands-on experience implementing art assets in Unity.
• Good understanding of mobile optimization and performance considerations.
• Strong understanding of composition, readability and visual hierarchy.
• Experience working on mobile games; Hybrid Casual, Casual or Hypercasual experience would be a plus.
• Experience with AI tools in the creative workflow or a strong willingness to explore and adopt new AI tools.
• Experience taking games or game features from prototype to production; shipped games would be a plus.
• A strong hands-on approach — you enjoy creating and iterating yourself, rather than focusing only on art direction or management.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership and make decisions in an environment with a high degree of autonomy.
• A fast iteration and prototyping mindset.

Why this role is interesting

• A highly hands-on and creative role with a lot of freedom, ownership and autonomy.
• The chance to work across 3D, 2D and Unity rather than being limited to one area of art.
• The opportunity to work on new game concepts from the very early prototype stage and see how they evolve based on gameplay and player feedback.
