Bungie Studios is looking for talented individuals to help create awe-inspiring visuals for breath-taking gaming worlds. This is an amazing opportunity to work with world-class art talent to develop a visually inspired AAA title.

The sky isn’t always the limit. Bungie is looking for a tech-savvy Sky Artist who daydreams about modeling, texturing and animating 3d content to create atmospheric vistas. As a sky artist you will work directly with the Lead Sky Artist to create the amazing backgrounds that are part of the environments and scenes in Bungie games. A central position, you will be directly involved in the exciting collaboration between designers, world artists, cinematics, and effects while being exposed to amazing rendering and lighting pipelines and tools.

With the uncertainty and rapidly changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, most positions at Bungie are expected to onboard and work from home for a significant portion of 2021. In 2022, most Bungie employees will adopt a flexible schedule working from home part time (outside of positions identified as either 100% onsite or fully remote in WA & CA). Currently only a select range of positions are available for full-time remote work in WA & CA (please review location for details). Prospective employees located outside of CA & WA will need to establish WA state residency within 45 days of a start date. Bungie’s work from home, flexible work schedule, and remote policy is subject to change at the company’s discretion.
