Senior 2D Game Artist

The Art Team at Wildlife is growing. With an audience of millions, our games are
a gateway to unforgettable characters, vibrant worlds, and emotionally rich
experiences.

This is no small mission, but our secret weapon is our people. We are a
collective of versatile, curious, and passionate artists working in synergy with
designers, engineers, and PMs to create iconic mobile games. We embrace
innovation and creative ownership, and are continuously evolving our processes,
including exploring how emerging tools like Gen-AI can support faster and more
inspired iterations.


ABOUT THE ROLE

Our 2D Game Artists are adaptable creators who contribute across multiple areas
of art to bring games to life. You’ll work closely with cross-disciplinary teams
to transform ideas into compelling visual experiences, from early prototypes to
polished production assets.


WHO YOU ARE

* Game Developer: You're passionate about making games. You understand how
visuals influence gameplay, UX, and player engagement. You enjoy working
collaboratively to solve problems and deliver high-quality results.
* Visual Worldbuilder: You think in stories, moods, and aesthetics. You’re
great at using images to evoke emotion, suggest lore, and communicate style
direction.
* Hybrid Creator: You bring strong 2D fundamentals (composition, color,
anatomy, lighting), and you’re also comfortable using Gen-AI tools to sketch
ideas, refine directions, or build references faster.
* AI-Native Explorer: You are not just a user of Gen-AI tools—you push them.
You understand how to control model quality, build custom prompts, use
inpainting workflows, and combine Gen-AI results with traditional techniques
(paintover, photobash, etc.).
* Team Player: You are a self-motivated team player who proactively seeks
feedback and shares knowledge. You are good at interacting with a wide range
of people, from very distinct backgrounds and specialities.


WHAT YOU'LL DO

* Leading art vision: Small teams are the best to bring ideas to life. You will
be the main artist in the core game team and will define how art will play in
the game. You will not be alone, we have a set of art directors and a strong
art department to support you in delivering your best. 
* Game Artist: Your premiere skill will be 2D art, but at times you will have
the opportunity to work with other art specialities depending on what is best
for the game, ranging from UI to some level of 3D and animation. We call it
T-shaped artists.
* Collaboration: You will be part of a multidisciplinary team, everyone focused
on creating a unique game experience. You will be able to contribute to
shaping the game design to find the fun. You will also collaborate with other
Wildlife areas, such as Marketing, to define the Art theme of the game using
real data from players.
* Problem Solving: You will help transform GDDs into playable mobile games, as
well, as help define the pipelines for the next phases of development. That
means that you will encounter all sorts of problems and obstacles along the
way, working your way around them as efficiently as possible.
* Iteration: You will iterate in multiple ways to find the best solution for
gameplay and the overall player experience. That means working fast, failing
fast and making corrections also fast.
* Build and evolve workflows: You'll help define how and when we use Gen-AI,
which tools we adopt, and how we ensure output quality and consistency.


WHAT YOU'LL NEED

* A strong portfolio with examples of illustration, concept art, and visual
storytelling.
* Experience creating artwork for games, animation, comics, or entertainment
IPs.
* Proficiency with Photoshop (or equivalent painting tools).
* Demonstrated use of Gen-AI tools in your process, with clear artistic
direction.
* High/Intermediate communication skills in English.

We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build
the best gaming company, where everyone thrives. 

Please note that an art test may be required during the evaluation process.
