Description

  • Define the overall visual style for F2P/instant games, including UI, in-game art, animation, and FX.
  • Establish and maintain a clear, scalable visual language across multiple game types.
  • Set and enforce quality standards for colour, lighting, composition, animation feel and timing, clarity, and player focus.
  • Design and produce high-quality 2D game art and UI assets and remain hands-on in execution.
  • Create and guide animations, transitions, win/lose states, prize reveals, micro-interactions, and feedback to enhance game feel.
  • Work closely with engineering to implement visuals efficiently in-game (Phaser / Pixi / WebGL context).
  • Define and maintain asset pipelines, sprite sheet/atlas standards, and optimisation guidelines for mobile and web.
  • Act as the visual owner for the F2P games vertical and raise the visual bar as the portfolio grows.
  • Review and provide direction on work from freelancers or future hires.
  • Collaborate with product to align visuals with mechanics and player experience.

Requirements

  • Must be based in the UK.
  • 5+ years experience in game art, interactive design, or real-time visual production for games, casino, or visually-rich experiences.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality 2D game visuals and UI; ideally includes motion and interaction design.
  • Proven ability to both define art direction and execute it hands-on (individual contributor focus, not large team management).
  • Good understanding of animation principles (timing, easing, anticipation) and player feedback/game feel.
  • Experience designing for mobile and web products and delivering optimised visuals.
  • Comfortable working closely with engineers in a code-driven environment and collaborating on implementation (Phaser/Pixi/WebGL).
  • Familiarity with WebGL or performance constraints in games (nice to have).
  • Strong experience with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma; motion tools (After Effects) are a plus.
  • Experience with 3D software (Blender, Maya, etc.) is nice to have but not required.

Benefits

  • Salary £55,000–£75,000 depending on experience.
  • Comprehensive zero-excess health insurance plan including optical and dental coverage.
  • 25 paid holidays per year plus generous paid maternity, paternity, and adoption leave.
  • Flexible working and support for productive home office setup (equipment provided).
  • Income protection plan to support you and your family.
  • Nursery salary sacrifice scheme to pay child’s nursery fees from your paycheck.
  • Salary sacrifice schemes for tech and devices, plus exclusive discounts on retailers, groceries, and subscriptions.
  • Internal and external learning opportunities with access to mentorship programs and transparent compensation with clear team bandings and salary grids.
