Description
Our worlds are filled with crazy, unique characters, and we need some talented artists to create them. We’re looking for an experienced artist to help establish our pipeline for characters, and create things that live in our worlds. As we build the team, this person will be expected to take on an individual contributor role as well helping more junior artists, so you should be passionate about creating as well as leading.
At Squanch Games, we make stuff that people love; games that we want to play ourselves. We make experiences that we would like to be totally immersed in and enjoy for hours at a time, as well as shorter, crazier experiences that would be great to play with a group of friends or possibly with stray homeless people that you invited in so you could feed and bathe them.
If you share in these values, come join us!
