Incubation Senior Concept Artist

Are you on a mission to create games that bond players together into deeply invested communities? Would you like to work on something comedic with charming and whimsical characters? Do you think a lot about how art impacts gameplay clarity, how character design can inspire fan cosplays, or how character poses and environments speak to different cultures all around the world?

As a Senior Concept Artist, you will create art for a new Bungie IP from prototype through production – everything from exploring character designs and iconography to proposing visual solutions for broad worldbuilding questions. Most importantly, you will work with a fun, dedicated, and passionate cross-discipline team devoted to building a new world for players to share.

We look for candidates who value joining a mission-focused team with a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, interests, and viewpoints.

With the uncertainty and rapidly changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, most positions at Bungie are expected to onboard and work from home for a significant portion of 2021. In 2022, most Bungie employees will adopt a flexible schedule working from home part time (outside of positions identified as either 100% onsite or fully remote in WA & CA). Currently only a select range of positions are available for full-time remote work in WA & CA (please review location for details). Prospective employees located outside of CA & WA will need to establish WA state residency within 45 days of a start date. Bungie’s work from home, flexible work schedule, and remote policy is subject to change at the company’s discretion.
