Senior 2D Artist

We are Fatshark

We are a critically acclaimed Swedish game development studio with about 180 experienced and skilled employees. We are most well-known for developing the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and will soon be launching the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

We have grown quite a bit over the last few years and are almost two-hundred “Sharks” now, but we still embrace the same values that we started with and still think of ourselves like one big family with fun at the center. Come into our world, a world known for our crazy internally designed socks, hackweeks, and Friday afternoons for studio-wide “social play” time. It all adds up to an approachable, fun, passion-driven yet communal environment for us to work in.

The role

As a Senior 2D artist at Fatshark, your main focus will be to fill our game worlds with detailed, interesting and production friendly 2D art assets for our UI team, and to some extent, the world building team. Furthermore, you will research and sync the work with our licensing partner and find references needed to carry out your daily tasks. The project you would be working on is our upcoming title Darktide.

At Fatshark all members of the team are involved in the decision making. We are a small enough team to be agile, but big enough to realize great ideas together. Collaboration is key in this highly creative environment. Working in a field where art, design, gameplay and sound comes together, feedback and teamwork skills are crucial in your daily work.

Apply and be our new experienced 2D artist bringing the Warhammer 40k universe to life!
