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.

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

Requirements

5+ years in environment art / level art for games; Strong portfolio showing both your own environment modeling and your set dressing work; Strong modeling skills (Maya, Blender, 3ds Max); Game engine proficiency: Unreal 5 or Unity; PBR, texture creation (Substance), and optimization; You want to model and dress environments, not just direct others; You lead by doing; You are excited about helping a team grow

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
