We're a product powerhouse building a full-stack ecosystem for iGaming businesses. 40M+ players. 250 brilliant minds. One bet: our technology is so rock-solid that we stake our own business on it.

• Design clear visuals for betting, multiplier growth, cashout, wins, and crashes.
• Prepare layered artwork for animation and collaborate with animators on movement and effects.
• Adapt and optimise assets for mobile and desktop, following technical requirements.
• Collaborate with designers and developers, review integrated artwork, and implement feedback.
• Create skins, seasonal artwork, and visual updates while maintaining a consistent style.
• Estimate timelines and keep source files and assets organised.

Skills and experience you will need:

• Strong 2D art skills and understanding of composition, colour, lighting, form, and perspective.
• Proficiency in stylised and casual game art, with the ability to follow art direction.
• Ability to create cohesive, readable game assets across different screen sizes.
• Proficiency in AI tools for creating game assets from initial concepts to production-ready artwork.
• Understanding of crash game visuals and key gameplay states.
• Experience preparing assets for animation and game integration.
• Proficiency in Photoshop; working knowledge of Figma.
• Good collaboration, time estimation, and feedback-handling skills.
• A portfolio of finished game artwork, including scenes, objects, icons, and UI elements, with at least one sketch-to-final case and a clear description of your contribution.
• English level: Intermediate +.

Would be a plus:

• Experience in iGaming, especially crash and instant games.
• Experience creating a game’s visual style from scratch.
• Knowledge of Spine, After Effects, or 2D animation principles.
