Senior Environment Artist (Stylized Games | Real-Time) Europe

We are looking for an experienced Senior Environment Artist with exceptional artistic taste and a passion for creating beautiful, immersive, and memorable game worlds.

We believe great environments are more than collections of well-crafted assets. Every space should communicate mood, atmosphere, and purpose, guiding players naturally through environments that feel visually distinctive and alive.

As part of our co-development team, you will create high-quality environments and world-building assets, working closely with Environment Leads, Art Directors, Level Designers, and Technical Artists.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who understands the balance between artistic excellence, environmental storytelling, gameplay readability, and real-time performance.

Environment Art & World Building

• Create high-quality stylized environments, architectural elements, terrain, props, and environmental assets.

• Translate concept art and visual references into visually compelling, production-ready environments.

• Develop cohesive environments with strong composition, color, shape language, and atmospheric storytelling.

• Establish visual hierarchy and environmental details that support player exploration and immersion.

• Build modular asset sets and reusable environment systems that maintain consistency across locations.

Real-Time Environment Production

• Develop optimized environment assets from initial blockout through final in-engine implementation.

• Work with materials, shaders, lighting, and set dressing to achieve the intended visual quality.

• Create efficient UV layouts, textures, LODs, and modular geometry for real-time performance.

• Collaborate with Level Designers to ensure environments support gameplay flow, navigation, and readability.

• Identify and resolve artistic or technical issues directly in-engine.

Collaboration & Quality

• Work closely with Art Directors, Concept Artists, Level Designers, Lighting Artists, and Technical Artists.

• Participate in environment reviews and help establish consistent quality standards.

• Provide constructive feedback and support less experienced artists when needed.

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve artistic workflows, asset reuse, and production efficiency.

• 5+ years of professional experience as an Environment Artist in game development.

• Experience contributing to commercially released game productions.

• Exceptional portfolio demonstrating strong environment composition, visual storytelling, and artistic quality.

• Strong proficiency in 3D modeling, UV mapping, texturing, and material creation.

• Excellent understanding of shape language, color, lighting, scale, and environmental composition.

• Experience creating modular environment assets and assembling complete playable scenes.

• Proficiency in Blender, Maya, Substance 3D tools, or equivalent software.

• Experience working with Unity3D, Unreal Engine, or comparable real-time engines.

• Strong understanding of optimization, material budgets, geometry complexity, and real-time performance.

• Ability to maintain visual consistency while working within technical and gameplay requirements.

• Strong communication skills and fluency in English.

• Experience with stylized mobile game environments.

• Familiarity with voxel-inspired, simplified, or highly stylized aesthetics.

• Experience with procedural environment workflows, Houdini, or terrain generation.

• Strong understanding of foliage, vegetation, and biome creation.

• Experience with lighting, atmosphere, and shader development.

• Previous experience working in a co-development environment.

• Opportunity to create memorable environments for game development and co-development projects.

• High artistic ownership and meaningful influence over world-building quality.

• Collaboration with experienced artists, Level Designers, and technical specialists.

• Remote-friendly international working environment.

• Competitive compensation and flexible contract options.

• Long-term collaboration and opportunities for professional growth.

• Annual Beffio team retreats and a supportive studio culture.

Send us your portfolio and a short introduction. We would love to see environments that demonstrate exceptional artistic taste, strong atmosphere, and a clear understanding of real-time production.
