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
