2D Artist

At League of Geeks we're passionate about creating beautiful and compelling visual experiences. We're looking for an artist who is driven by the same love of game art and wants to create mind-blowing visual aesthetics in a highly creative environment.

You're a game developer and illustrator, who’s adaptable to a project’s individual style. You’re a highly skilled and flexible individual with a wildly creative imagination, who also understands that technical proficiency and working in-engine (whether in Unreal or Unity) is vital to building games. Visual communication in games is your passion, and you’re experienced in designing and building game user interfaces (UI/UX). You love animation and collaborating across technical disciplines to see your work come to life.

As a collaborative, agile team, we love generalists possessing deep specialisations and this is an excellent opportunity for you to invest in your skillset, whilst having a major impact on the experiences we craft and deliver to our players.

We are committed to building one of the best working environments in the world and you will become a core member of the LoG team making that a reality. Not to mention you’ll be part of our planning meetings, design discussions, and of course Friday afternoon events, weekly LoG Dog Day, and more.

If you’re keen to work at one of the world’s leading independent studios and get in as we kick off production on our unannounced project, we want to hear from you.

Soon to emerge from our recent hibernation, League of Geeks remains committed to building a world-class working environment for game developers, with a genuine focus on well being, skill development, community and purpose. So if you’re keen to join the reinvention of one of the world’s leading independent studios as we embark on a brand new PC/console project, we'd love to hear from you!
