Trailmix is a new mobile games company based in London’s vibrant Camden Town. Our growing team works collaboratively and creatively to solve problems, and we iterate quickly to make amazing games.
Trailmix founders Caro and Tristan are mobile games veterans with a combined total of 20 years in the industry. After securing funding from mobile games giant Supercell, we have gathered a team of amazingly talented people. Our company mission is simple: to combine great storytelling with the best in free-to-play mobile gaming.
In this role you will join a small art team, assisting with the art and animation on our new game. You will work in a self-organised team and collaborate closely with other artists, designers and developers.
We share a lot of the artistic values of our backer Supercell — we are creating a brand new IP with a fun, strong and recognizable art style for casual games.
As a versatile artist, some of your day-to-day tasks include:
- Creating 2D artwork to fit the style of the game
- Animating characters, game assets and effects
- Prepare, implement, test and manage art assets in Unity
- Contributing to the creation of ongoing content for a live mobile game
- Concepting and developing new features with other disciplines
- Occasional assisting with UI assets and animations
- Participating in collaborative team discussions
- Planning workflow and tasking your work
Requirements:
You have high professional standards with good attention to quality and detail. You’re very organised, proactive and always keen to learn and improve your skills. You are a great team player, but also have the ability to work flexibly and independently on tasks from conception to finish, using your problem solving abilities. You love getting involved with the creative side, and are also happy to work with developers and implement your work into the engine.
- Strong artistic abilities in rendering 2D assets, notably for environments but also characters.
- Working experience with Spine and strong animation skills and examples in your portfolio.
- Ability to adapt and create new artwork within the games art style.
- Preparing and implementing assets using Unity or a similar engine
- Mobile game experience
Some nice bonus skills include:
- Advanced spine rigging experience
- Superstar skills in Unity
- Strong technical art skills (ie. shaders, effects and particles)
Why join Trailmix?
This is an incredible opportunity for an enthusiastic, ambitious and proactive person to really make a difference and be a part of something amazing. Work with a team that has an incredible track record of making mobile mega hits. Backed by Supercell - a mobile games company that is not only known for its incredibly commercial success but also for its focus on great teams, autonomy and excellent culture - you would join a mobile gaming start-up that is brand new, highly autonomous and well funded.
Benefits include: Competitive salary, EMI share options, latest tech equipment, great team events (German Christmas Markets, Disney Castle visit, Pirate ship trip on the Thames amongst others) and being part of the amazing Supercell family.
This is an extremely rare opportunity and one that you should be part of. Do not miss out and apply now!
