• Maintain a consistent visual style across new and existing content
• Participate in art reviews and iterate on work in response to creative and technical feedback
• Contribute practical improvements to the team’s art pipeline and documentation
• Create occasional 2D assets, icons, or promotional artwork where project needs and your skills align

• Hands‑on experience implementing and optimizing assets in Unity
• Proficiency in Blender and relevant texturing or 3D‑production tools
• A practical understanding of real‑time rendering, polygon budgets, texture budgets, materials, lighting, and draw‑call optimization
• Strong knowledge of composition, color, form, lighting, and visual storytelling
• The ability to work within an established art direction while making sound creative decisions
• Experience taking assets through multiple stages of a production pipeline
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a remote team
• The ability to organize your workload, incorporate feedback, and deliver polished work within sprint deadlines

Nice to Have

• Experience developing specifically for VR or other performance‑constrained platforms
• Experience with mobile, free‑to‑play, or live‑service games
• Experience with animation, rigging, shaders, VFX, or motion design
• Experience creating marketing or promotional artwork
• Familiarity with responsible uses of AI‑assisted tools in a professional creative workflow
