Introduction to the Opportunity

Are you a visual storyteller with the imagination to craft entire worlds before a single pixel is rendered?

In this role, you'll be an integral part of a forward-thinking team where diversity is valued, ideas are celebrated, and your contributions are deeply respected. With an annual salary of $132,826, this remote position allows you to contribute from wherever you feel most inspired, in a workplace that champions inclusion and respects your individuality.

We intentionally cultivate a welcoming culture where creativity and collaboration go hand in hand. Our culture is grounded in empathy, where every team member is seen, heard, and supported. Team members from diverse backgrounds contribute their unique perspectives, and it is this collective energy that drives our innovation. We've built a creative culture where everyone's experience contributes to the shared vision, and where we actively support individuals with varying abilities, backgrounds, and perspectives.

Key Responsibilities of the Role

As a Concept Artist on our team, you will play a central role in visually translating ideas into mood-setting visuals that inform the creative direction of games, films, animations, or digital content. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Designing compelling environments, characters, and props that align with our project aesthetics.
  • Interpreting creative briefs and collaborating with art directors, game designers, and fellow artists to shape cohesive visual concepts.
  • Creating concept sketches, mood boards, and storyboards that serve as visual references across production pipelines.
  • Refining and iterating on concepts based on feedback while maintaining artistic integrity.
  • Participating in creative brainstorming sessions with cross-functional remote teams.
  • Ensuring all visual elements stay consistent with the project's tone and narrative.
  • Staying updated on visual trends, emerging tools, and new technologies in digital design.

Team members enjoy flexible hours, open dialogue, and frequent wellness check-ins to foster an environment that prioritizes well-being.

We celebrate authenticity and believe people do their best work when they feel valued and empowered. Weekly creative standups, virtual jam sessions, and diversity circles make our remote setting feel connected and community-driven.
