Job description

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
