Jam.gg is a social and low tech-friendly cloud gaming platform. It has been designed to be accessible to everyone: available directly from a web browser, it does not require a high-speed internet connection to provide a seamless multiplayer game experience. Jam.gg is all about bringing people together through games, with a touch of childhood playfulness and creativity. 

We are led by an experienced team of ex Google, Twitter, Amazon, Docker, EA, King and other top tech companies. Jam.gg is a YCombinator company and backed by top VC firms and LEGO Ventures and has already established itself as a new go-to platform for cloud gaming in some countries.

We’re at the stage where we’re scaling our Studio Department as one of our key units. This is an incredible opportunity to join a booming company. Driven by a strong inclusive culture, we welcome self-starting, fast learning, talented people wishing to start and manage unique, and challenging projects where collaboration (internal and external) is everything.

  • You will mentor/develop a small team of talented and independent artists, optimally staffing it to fit the production needs.
  • You'll work very hands-on during the whole game development process, setting the standard for the other artists to follow.
  • As a part of the development team, you will enjoy a creative, challenging and collaborative environment, where your ideas will be every bit as valued as your art expertise.

What we are looking for:

  • Proven professional experience with the pre-production phase of game development and establishing art direction from scratch.
  • Strong leadership skills and experience managing and developing teams.
  • Thorough understanding of the whole 3D production pipeline, and all the tools required for it.
  • Experience both with character and environment sculpting and modeling.
  • Good eye for color and lighting.
  • Good knowledge of technical constraints of mobile development and asset optimization. 
  • Good knowledge of open-world MMO-style games.

  • Experience with 3D rigging and animation
  • Knowledgeable about UI/UX design principles and wireframe creation
  • Experience with not only working remotely, but also remotely managing teams of artists.
  • External production and outsourcing experience
  • Experience with cel shading / toon-shading art styles

  • Home office allowance.
  • Fully remote & flexible working hours.
  • Equal pay policy.
