Junior Art Director (Maternity Replacement)

We're hiring an Art Director to cover a six-month maternity leave - fully remote, on a new project at concept stage.

RibCage Games is a small studio making games at the intersection of art and play. The project is new and unannounced, currently in concept and pre-production. Our CCO sets the visual direction. You own everything from the first sketch to the finished asset.

THE WORK:

A-Z ownership of asset creation. Every step below is yours, start to finish:

- Sketches and concept art, turning the CCO's direction into something you can look at.

- Style tests and reference that set the bar for everything built after.

- Blueprints drawn from those concepts, ready to model against.

- Modeling, UVs, texturing — the full 3D pass.

- Store and marketing-facing art as the project takes shape.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

- At least one shipped title where you owned a significant part of the art.

- The whole pipeline in one pair of hands — sketch, concept, blueprint, model, UV, texture. There's nobody to hand off to.

- A portfolio with range in stylized low-poly 3D, specifically a mechanical and military design language, and urban environment art.

- Someone who takes direction well. The visual direction is set by our CCO — the job is interpreting it sharply and executing it at a high bar.

- Unity, Blender and Adobe Suite. Comfortable working in Git.

- The self-direction a small, fully remote team runs on.

No AI-generated work. Not in your portfolio, not in what you'd make here. Every asset that ships is made by a person. This one isn't negotiable.

THE DETAILS:

- Six months, with a real possibility of extending.

- Fully remote, working GMT+3 hours.

- Small team, reporting directly to our CCO.
