Senior VFX Artist, Squad Busters

Supercell

Qualifications
Benefits

Supercell structure is based on the idea of having creative and independent teams. Autonomous teams allow us to build, break and shift quickly, but they also require that everyone on the team fills multiple roles. So, not only are we looking for an artist who will specialize in VFX, but also contribute to other areas of game development as well. We are not looking for just any artist, we're looking for someone who loves, plays, lives and breathes games. You will be surrounded by people who will help you become a better game developer each day, inspire you and push you. You will also do the same with the people you work with.

During the years at Supercell, most likely you will be working both on existing IP’s and new, unpublished games. Whatever it is you are working on, you’ll own it. You enjoy working as part of a team, but have a proactive approach with a hunger to take responsibility on an individual level. Our teams are small and agile, and we strongly believe in the creative freedom of an artist. As a game artist at Supercell, you will be responsible for the overall look of the game you are working on.

Responsibilities: 

  • Generally just nail game art work, especially VFX
  • Develop mobile games and experiences loved by our players
  • Make VFX from concept art to implementing
  • Make 2D / 3D objects for projectiles
  • Optimize and manage VFX resources efficiently
  • Support other parts related to VFX (UI / 2D Animation)
  • Collaborate with the team and support the game development process from A to Z
  • Work closely with programmers, community and everyone else on a tightly knit game team

Requirements:

  • Experience in a leading design role on a live-service game. You understand the unique challenges behind designing games with no end, that players enjoy for years.
  • Excellent understanding of stylized 2D VFX
  • Excellent skills with a VFX particle editor
  • Excellent understanding of how VFX relates to gameplay
  • Familiarity with Flash (Adobe Animate) and Adobe Photoshop
  • Modest capability in additional skills (2D / 3D Art, 3D animation, UI design)
  • Some understanding of 2D skeletal animation
  • Basic knowledge in Technical Art
  • Pride and responsibility in your work as you are given the freedom to work independently and expected to do that with minimal supervision
  • Modesty and respect when receiving feedback from your team
  • Previous experience in game development and game art
  • Passion for games, especially Supercell games

Benefits and Compensation

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems is not what we seek to do. We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life.

We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource. Read More
