🕹 Full-time | Competitive Salary

Pixel Pie is a mobile game studio founded by industry veterans and backed by top gaming investors. We’re building Bubble Busters, a multiplayer twist on a wildly successful casual mechanic, and we’re looking for an exceptional Senior 2D Artist to define and drive the visual direction of the game alongside a highly experienced team.

What You’ll Do

• Own and evolve the game’s 2D visual style, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality artistic vision across all assets.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 2D artists through clear direction, hands-on feedback, and regular critiques.
• Translate game design and product needs into compelling visuals — including characters, environments, UI elements, and marketing assets.
• Establish and maintain art guidelines, pipelines, and best practices to ensure consistency and scalability.
• Collaborate closely with product, animation, and tech teams to ensure assets are production-ready and optimized for implementation.
• Oversee asset creation from concept to final polish, balancing quality with production timelines and live ops demands.
• Act as the main point of contact for all 2D art decisions, aligning stakeholders and maintaining a strong visual identity.
• Continuously push visual quality while keeping performance and mobile constraints in mind.

What You Bring

• Creative juice, from basic ideas to a polished result.
• 3+ years of experience in 2D game art working on high-quality stylized and casual art styles.
• Strong proficiency in tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or other industry-standard 2D software (Spine, After Effects — a plus).
• A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional stylized artwork, strong fundamentals (composition, color, shape language), and character-driven design.
• Proven ability to define and maintain a cohesive art style across a product.
• Experience building, mentoring, and managing artists — you know how to raise the bar without slowing the team down.
• Strong understanding of mobile production constraints and asset optimization.
• Experience working cross-functionally with product, tech, and animation teams.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Ability to give clear, actionable feedback and make decisive artistic calls.
• A genuine passion for games and playful, engaging visual storytelling.

What We Offer

We offer a creative, flexible, and supportive environment. As part of a small, hands-on team, you’ll play a key role in shaping the game’s visual identity and bringing characters and worlds to life with every new feature and release.

Good to know about us:

• Studio based in Netanya, hybrid setting - 2-3 days a week at the office.
• Competitive salary, stock options, and benefits.
• A startup culture that values autonomy, ownership, and team-first collaboration.
