• Design, refine, and maintain in-game UI components, HUD elements, and promotional graphics to ensure visual consistency and usability.
• Organize source files, version control, naming conventions, and directory structures to enable seamless integration into engineering and publishing workflows.
• Review and validate deliverables against technical specifications, platform guidelines, safe zones, and compliance requirements before final handoff.
• Incorporate feedback from licensors and stakeholders, accurately applying legal notices, brand guidelines, logo requirements, and visual identity standards.
• Coordinate asynchronously with cross-functional teams and external partners to deliver high-quality assets according to project milestones and publishing schedules.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of professional experience in 2D or 3D game asset design, platform asset adaptation, or web and HTML5 game production.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality key art, store capsule design, and optimized visual assets for commercial game releases.
• Hands‑on experience creating, adapting, or delivering platform games and interactive assets for major distribution environments, such as MSN, Reddit, YouTube Playables, Netflix Games, or comparable platforms.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop and Illustrator, including non‑destructive editing, compositing, vector creation, and batch automation.
• Proficiency in Blender for 3D modeling, rendering, and optimization of assets for web-based environments.
• Familiarity with HTML5, WebGL, and Unity asset pipelines, including their technical constraints and optimization requirements.
• A strong understanding of platform‑specific asset specifications, safe zones, UI/UX requirements, and aspect ratios across web and streaming environments.
• Excellent knowledge of graphic design fundamentals, including composition, typography, and color theory, with the ability to maintain visual quality across multiple formats.
• Proven ability to follow corporate visual identity standards, logo lockups, typography rules, and established brand guidelines.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and operational discipline, with experience working in milestone‑driven production environments.
• Excellent asynchronous communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with distributed teams.
• Availability to work remotely with core working‑hour overlap across European and Indian time zones.

Nice to have:
