Rovio’s Puzzle Studio has their sights set on becoming the most successful casual puzzle game studio in the world. Exploring new and emerging trends in puzzle games, the studio has built a deep understanding of the puzzle genre and its players since its founding in 2014. The studio has introduced innovations in puzzle game core with the free-flowing Angry Birds Dream Blast, and the narrative-driven Small Town Murders, as well as providing players with exciting new content and events in fan-favorite games such as Angry Birds Friends.

We are looking for an experienced Game Artist to join us on one of our live games with a new and exciting IP that we are still eagerly developing and refining.

• Model, render and animate new core game elements
• Pose characters, and model 3D environments and props for key illustrations of the game
• Create UI layouts in Unity, following the existing UI style
• Animate asset using Spine
• Lead and provide necessary feedback to the outsourcing partners to ensure that the art style and asset production quality are well-aligned with us
• Mentor and coach junior Artists in your team
• Advocate for creative values within the project team

Who we think would do great in this role has:

• 5+ years in the gaming industry or equivalent
