- Creating unique high-quality 2D assets that are ready to be used in-game;
- Designing all UI/UX elements, including icons, menu screens, buttons, animations and more;
- Making promotional materials, such as banners, splash screens, logos and icon designs;
- Working with the team to deliver on sprint commitments, as well as continuing to improve the quality of art and the processes in the art department.

- You are able to work 40 hours per week (of which, at minimum currently, 2 days per week at our studio in Amsterdam);
- You can share an online portfolio that showcases your best work.

Benefits

We offer an exciting role with significant responsibility and an attractive compensation package:

- Competitive salary commensurate with your experience;
- Participate in our company Pension Plan;
- Health care insurance compensation;
