Lead Level Artist

We are currently growing our team and looking for a strong, experienced artist to strengthen our existing environment art team..

We already have a solid foundation, but we need a Lead Level Artist who can come in and actively raise the quality bar - both through their own work and by elevating those around them.

This is not a pure management role. We are not looking for someone who only reviews, delegates, or attends meetings. Instead, we need a hands-on leader who genuinely wants to model environments, perform set dressing, and build levels in the engine - while helping the team grow through example and mentorship.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Level Designers and Art Director to maintain visual quality and gameplay clarity.
• Help develop our current team by sharing knowledge, techniques, and best practices.
• Model environment assets (modular pieces, props, terrain elements, hero assets).
• Perform set dressing yourself: composition, storytelling through props, decals, and scene staging.
• Work inside the engine to build and polish level art on a daily basis.
• Ensure technical performance (LODs, draw calls, memory) without sacrificing visual ambition.
• Proactively fill gaps in modular kits with your own high-quality models.
• Review team members' work constructively.

What we are looking for

• You want to model and dress environments, not just direct others.
• You lead by doing. The team respects you because they see you in the trenches.
• You are excited about helping a team grow, not just doing your own work in isolation.

Requirements

• 5+ years in environment art / level art for games.

• Strong portfolio showing both:
• Your own environment modeling
• Your set dressing work
• Technical Skills
• Strong modeling skills (Maya, Blender, 3ds Max).
• Game engine proficiency: Unreal 5 or Unity.
• PBR, texture creation (Substance), and optimization.

Benefits

• Working with an international team of world-class professionals on exciting and challenging projects;
• Learning & Development opportunities - mentoring, lectures, participation at industry conferences and events;
• Medical Care package;
• Sensibly flexible working hours;
• Breakfasts, snacks and fruits available during the day, tea and coffee machines;
• Friendly team environment;
• Additional benefits - care bonus to cover health, educational and safety needs.
