Our team created Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. We’re now working on two new titles: Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.

TASKS:

·     Engaging in the full cutscenes preproduction and production cycle, from working with narrative designers and level designers to the delivery of final quality work

·     Organizing and coordinating work within the team of artists (Animators, VFXers, Lighting Artists)

·     Lead, supervise, and develop an existing team of Cinematic Directors and Cinematic Artists

BENEFITS:

  • Work your way. Flexible hours and the freedom to work remotely, from the office, or a mix of both.
  • Offices you’ll actually want to visit. Cozy spaces with game and chill-out zones, coffee points, and snacks on hand.
  • A team that plays together. We love what we make, and that passion doesn’t switch off after hours: we get together for tabletop sessions in the office or on Roll20.
  • Room to grow. Learn from top professionals, get support from our mentoring program, and level up through internal training courses.
  • Rewarding pay and a clear path forward. A competitive salary based on your interview results, plus real opportunities for career growth.
