- Design effects such as fire, smoke, sparks, explosions, magic, trails, hits, rewards, and transitions
- Work closely with game designers and developers to make effects feel satisfying and readable
- Optimize VFX for performance across devices
- Create textures, sprite sheets, flipbooks, particles, and shader-based effects
- Iterate quickly based on gameplay needs and feedback
- Maintain a consistent visual style across the experience
- Support live updates, events, and new feature launches
Must Have
- 2+ years of experience as a VFX Artist, Game Artist, Motion Designer, or Real-Time Effects Artist
- Strong understanding of particles, timing, animation, composition, color, and visual readability
- Experience creating effects for games, mobile apps, interactive media, or real-time environments
- Ability to create stylized, clean, and performance-friendly effects
- Good understanding of optimization for real-time platforms
- Strong ownership mindset and ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment
- A portfolio/showreel demonstrating VFX work is required
Nice to Have
- Experience with Unity, Unreal, Roblox Studio, Godot, or similar game engines
- Experience with Unity VFX Graph, Shuriken, Unreal Niagara, or similar particle systems
- Knowledge of shaders, materials, sprite sheets, flipbooks, and texture creation
- Experience with stylized/casual/mobile game art
- Familiarity with tools like Blender, Maya, Houdini, After Effects, Photoshop, Substance Designer, or Spine
- Exposure to live games, events, monetization moments, reward animations, or multiplayer experiences
