About the Role

We are seeking a 2D Technical Artist with strong expertise in VFX, shader development, and animation to join our team working on a next-generation 2D Collectible Card Game (CCG). You’ll bridge the gap between art and engineering, bringing characters, environments, and effects to life with style, precision, and performance.

This role requires an artist who understands both the creative and technical aspects of real-time 2D games, with a passion for expressive visuals, dynamic combat scenes, and player immersion.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize 2D VFX and animation systems for card abilities, spell effects, and UI transitions.
• Collaborate with artists and engineers to create custom shaders (e.g., glow, distortion, dissolve, particle blending).
• Integrate and fine-tune lighting, color grading, and compositing to achieve a polished, cohesive visual style.
• Work closely with character artists to enhance character animations and effects, ensuring fluidity and visual impact.
• Develop and manage asset pipelines for importing and optimizing sprites, textures, and animations.
• Ensure all assets perform efficiently on target platforms (desktop and mobile).
• Implement real-time feedback systems for interactive effects (e.g., hover glows, hit flashes, energy bursts).
• Collaborate with design and programming teams to ensure VFX align with gameplay mechanics and UI feedback.
• Create and document technical art guidelines for shaders, effects, and animation integration.
