We are looking for someone who can create and manage a style fit for mobile games, and is passionate about working in a very stylized manner.

Requirements:

  1. Strong 2D skills (Painting and concept)

  3. No side projects, we require 100% of your attention
  4. General 3D Maya skills
  5. Unity experience a major plus
  6. Strong Lighting skill (Great mood setting and color sense)

Our engine is Unity, so knowledge in any 3D modeling software that will export FBX files is acceptable, but Maya is highly preferred.
