WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Yodo1 is looking for a Lead 3D Artist with a strong generalist base to become the founding artist for a small, highly autonomous, and empowered game team.

You are:

• Focused on impact. You understand the 80/20 rule and focus on activities that matter.

WHAT WE EXPECT

You will:

• Serve as the founding artist on the team, holding and executing the art direction from the earliest phases of the project.
• Act as a versatile generalist, taking clear reference concepts and carrying them all the way through to complete, game-ready 3D models.
• Take a hands-on approach in Unity, preparing, optimizing, and seamlessly integrating assets directly into the game engine (not just working in Blender/Maya).
• Perform basic animation and rigging tasks to bring your models to life.
• Help hire, manage, and mentor in-house artistic talent as the project scales.
• Provide clear, constructive feedback to outsourcing partners to maintain high visual standards.

You must have:

• Excellent communication and collaboration within cross-functional and globally distributed teams.
• Passion for mobile games.

You might have:

• Experience scaling an art department or managing external vendors.
• Experience working with teams across different locations, cultures, and time zones.
• Availability for at least 4 hours between 10 AM and 6 PM GMT.
