WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR

Lightheart Entertainment is looking for a Senior Game Artist to join us in creating hit games with a unique but accessible visual style! You are preferably versed in both 2D and 3D, capable of creating anything from characters to environments. We’re looking for team players with self-organizing mentalities, with a passion for their art.

LIFE AT LIGHTHEART

We put old-school arcade games with deep mechanics at the top of everybody’s ‘must-play’ lists.

If you want to have a big say in the big decisions, and know how to lock down the slippery concept of ‘fun’, you’ll be a great fit at Lightheart.

Here, you won’t be told what to do by your manager. Because you won’t have one. In fact, we don’t have any at all. Instead, we totally trust our team with our games — and our success.

You’ll be part of a nimble team where everyone has an equal say, and the same responsibility to get things done effectively while supporting each other.

Unconventional? Yes. But with over 10 million downloads to date (for our very first title) it feels fairly safe to say that it’s working out pretty well.

REQUIREMENTS
 

• Great visual skills, preferably both 2D and 3D
• Knowledge of 2D and 3D animation
• Solid experience with Unity
• Independent, self-organizing mentality
• Experience from previous game projects

RESPONSIBILITIES
 

• Working on the visual style of the game
• Creating assets broadly, from characters to environments
• Working closely with the rest of the team - we don’t believe in departments
• Implementing your work in engine

We offer competitive salaries and benefits. But those feel like they’re almost a given.

So, as well as letting you take ownership over your work, we let you take ownership of the company itself through our stock option program.

During the working day, you can come into our Helsinki office, work from home, or a mix – we’re not fussy. And as a new member of the team, you’ll get bonus vacation days to help you settle in.
