  • Mentorship: Guide junior designers to help them grow as 3D artists.

Ideal Candidate:

  • A strong portfolio showcasing previous 3D art, creature modeling, and animation work.
  • 1+ years of hands-on experience with Blender for character modeling and animation.
  • Demonstrated creativity, attention to detail, and resourcefulness with a good eye for stylized designs.
  • Excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills with a willingness to accept and integrate constructive feedback.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Training in game art and animation.
  • Passion for video games, mobile games, and social impact games.
