Junior Game Designer - AI

About This Role

PlayEola is an AI-native iGaming studio delivering exclusive game content for operators worldwide. We don't just use AI, we build our entire creative process around it. Our team brings over 12 years of iGaming experience combined with a relentless drive to push AI tools to their limits.

We're looking for a Junior Game Designer who's obsessed with AI.

Not someone who's "familiar with AI tools." We want someone who wakes up excited to test the latest model that dropped overnight. Someone who has opinions about which LoRA works best for which style. Someone who's already experimenting with tools most people haven't heard of yet.

You'll be responsible for creating visual and audio assets for our games, but more importantly, you'll help us stay at the cutting edge of AI-powered game production. We expect you to bring ideas, challenge our current workflows, and constantly push for better, faster, more creative ways to build games.

This is an early-stage studio. If you want to shape how AI transforms game design from the inside, this is your opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Create high-quality visual and audio assets for games using AI-powered workflows
• Continuously explore, test, and evaluate new AI tools, and advocate for the ones worth adopting
• Propose and prototype new approaches to asset creation and production pipelines
• Collaborate closely with developers to bring game concepts to life quickly and at high quality
• Share knowledge with the team and help build our AI-first creative culture
• Iterate rapidly based on feedback from playtests and team reviews

Requirements

• Deep, hands-on experience with AI design tools (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Flux, or similar)
• A proven track record of experimenting with AI, show us your workflow, your experiments, your failures and wins
• Strong foundation in Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar design software
• Experience creating game sounds and audio assets
• Proactive mindset - you don't wait to be told what to explore
• Excellent communication skills and ability to pitch your ideas clearly
• Self-motivated and thrives in a fast-moving, small team environment
• Portfolio that demonstrates both your design skills and your AI experimentation

Nice to Have

• Experience in the iGaming industry
• Animation skills (Spine, After Effects, or AI animation tools like Runway, Kling)
• Familiarity with AI audio tools (Suno, Udio, ElevenLabs)
• Understanding of game mechanics and player engagement
• Active presence in AI creative communities (Discord servers, Twitter/X, Reddit)
