We’re Playdead, an independent game company based in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. We have made two critically acclaimed titles, LIMBO and INSIDE. Our current project is a 3rd-person science fiction adventure set in a remote corner of the universe.
Job description
We are seeking a Senior 3D Artist with a strong portfolio of modelling, sculpting and texturing work. Your responsibility as our new colleague will be in designing, modelling and texturing assets for a third-person, open-world game. You will work in coordination with the other artists on the team, as well as helping to guide junior artists.
