Jul 1, 2022

Iceflake Studios is looking for a highly motivated and innovative concept artist to work with an upcoming Paradox management game title.

Iceflake Studios was founded in 2007 and over the years has developed 20 original titles for all major platforms. In 2018 we started the development of Surviving the Aftermath together with Paradox Interactive; this cooperation culminated in 2020 when Paradox acquired Iceflake Studios thus making us a first party Paradox studio.

We offer you the support of a large, internationally acclaimed studio with the perks of a small one. With us you’re not only executing tasks, but truly get your voice and opinions heard. You will be backed up with our experienced team and are surrounded by encouraging coworkers and a great atmosphere.

You would be creating illustrations and concept art from our designs to current and future game projects. Main goal would be to translate the design vision into visual representation. You would also work with our outsourcing partners and would prepare visual designs required for them to create final assets for our games.

What you will be doing:

• Working closely with the designer and art director in defining the look and style of our games.
• Development of PC and Console titles with highly talented and motivated team.
• Be part of the visual design.
• Independent and agile working environment.
• Supportive team enviroment that values personal and artistic growth.

The skills you need to have:

• Experience in digital painting.
• Ability to adapt into multiple artistic styles.
• Have a proactive work ethic and desire to learn.
• Wide knowledge of video games and popular culture.
• Ability to work precisely and work within deadlines.

How to stand out from the crowd:

• Traditional art skills with a strong grasp of composition, anatomy, color theory, perspective, lighting, environment and characters.
• Great communication and problem-solving skills.
• Understanding of the game development process.
• Knowledge of 3D modeling softwares or Unity.

Some of our benefits include:

Our office is located within a walking distance from downtown Tampere. You will have the ability to work remotely, but due to the highly collaborative nature of the work we expect you to be able to work at the office as well.

If you think that this description matches you, we highly encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we will interview candidates continuously. If you don’t match all the requirements, please demonstrate how your passion, attitude and interest in Iceflake and Paradox might compensate for this.

At Paradox Interactive we celebrate difference and care deeply about diversity and inclusion. We therefore encourage you, no matter who you are, to apply for this job if you think you would be a great addition to our team.
