UI/UX Video Game Artist

THE STUDIO

We are a games studio largely based in Los Angeles, CA. The company was founded in 2015 by industry veterans who’ve built and run some of the biggest games in the world at companies like EA, Sony, Zynga and Blizzard. Our aspiration is to build a company where people want to spend their entire careers.

Our culture is largely based around a shared love of playing and building games as well as continuously learning and experimenting together. Unsurprisingly, we're focused on folks who share our key values:

• Talent (you're a subject matter expert and amazing individual contributor!)
• Attitude (you want to win! sure, experience is important, but that’s only part of what makes a great contributor, great)
• Willingness to try new and sometimes scary things (so we can ship something we're all proud of!)

Right now we’re fortunate enough to be working on our dream game, a real-time social, dystopian pvp battler (think Mass Effect meets The Division meets Eve Online ) with a few fun twists that will hopefully create a new genre of games.

Our studio is pioneering new methods to blend AI and gameplay, and we’re looking for a talented and experienced UI artist who is excited to be responsible for refining the visual language of our first-of-its-kind gameplay to thrill our players.
