Concept Artist
At Secret Door we believe that some of our best memories come from shared experiences with friends. As we begin crafting game experiences that bring people together in positive ways, we are looking for a multi-faceted Concept Artist with an explorer’s mind set to join us on our journey.

Do you thrive in a highly dynamic and collaborative environment with constant iteration?
We are focused on staying nimble as a studio and highly value generalists that enjoy tackling varied work including environments, characters, creatures, props, UI, and more. You will work alongside our small art team as you get up close and personal with a variety of creative tasks facing our studio in its early days. As an inventive problem solver, you love nothing more than multitasking your way through some of the most impactful assignments we will face, all while helping to realize the visual personality of our very first game.
