Job Description

We want to change the world. We’re a team of fast-executing social entrepreneurs on a mission to build the future of social change. You want to change the world? This is your chance!

We are searching for an exceptional game artist to build our business with. You will work closely with the game development team and other members of the Core Team to design and develop world-changing games. These games deal with global issues, from education to poverty to human rights.

We don’t want a puppet; we don’t want someone to say yes and implement every feature we ask for. What we want is a partner. Someone to bounce ideas off of, someone with a vision for the future of our company, and someone who has the desire and drive to make it a reality.

We want the best of the best. We’ve built a team of supremely talented and dedicated individuals, and we want our game artist to be the same.

Qualifications

• Proficient with tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and GIMP (but really we don’t care what tools you use, so long as you produce great work!)
• Endless imagination, and a desire to use that imagination to design a truly inspiring, world-changing game
• You want creative freedom so you can help build our brand from startup to global brand for good
• Exceptional time management skills
• Can do character or environment art (please specify in email or cover letter which one you are proficient in)
• Can collaborate with a team
• A portfolio of your work
