We Need You

The minions of Hell are growing stronger...

If you're a highly motivated and experienced Mid or Senior level Surfacing Artist with a focus on Character Art, then come work with us and help us build something extraordinary.

Our team of dedicated developers is growing. Our backgrounds are diverse, but we all share a real passion for what we do. We believe that if you’re looking for a tight-knit crew that celebrates self-expression and embraces collaboration, we will be a phenomenal fit for you.

Oh, also, you really like killing demons and getting loot, right?

Stuff We will Trust you With

Be a force multiplier with your legendary creativity and cunning eye for detail. Do you geek out on technical pipelines, end to end character modeling, and texturing workflows? This job is about working with our internal 3D Character development team to create high quality materials for the Diablo franchise. We're looking for an extraordinarily hard-working person to come spend some quality time in Sanctuary and descend into the deep dark dungeons of Diablo with us! Your experience in handling technical character art materials will help make a lot of appealing content.

Your responsibilities will range from creating materials in a collaborative environment to working in complex 2D and 3D pipelines for the Diablo world to make our Characters look as amazing as possible. You’ll also be helping build an internal library of materials and utilities.

Work alongside Leads and Character Artists to collaborate and share a vision of creating the next iteration of a game industry defining franchise.

Stuff You Are Familiar With

You may wonder what it will take to be successful in this role. Work through technical art production, modeling, texturing, rendering, and UV unwrapping workflows. As well as work closely with the character team, technical artists, and the production team to determine material needs and creating textures based on those needs.

This role is anticipated to be a hybrid work position, with some work on-site and some work-from-home. The potential home studio for this role is Albany, NY or Irvine, CA. However, we understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore other possible options, including remote work arrangements.

And Yeah, You Will Need These Things To Apply

• Portfolio demonstrating relevant skills. Only online work submissions, please. (e.g. website, blog or online album).
• Willingness to complete a test if requested to do so.

We love hearing from anyone who is enthusiastic about changing the games industry. Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do! At Activision Blizzard, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply.
