We are Fatshark
We are an independent Swedish game development studio located in Södermalm, Stockholm. With about 90 experienced and skilled employees we have worked as contractors for a number of AAA projects, as well as developed titles with publishers and independently for both consoles and PC. Our most recent game is the critically acclaimed title Warhammer: Vermintide 2. We tackle every project, genre and setting with enthusiasm, professionalism and a cup of coffee.

The role
We are looking for an Experienced Environment Artist to join our team, helping us finalize our amazing levels with a high-quality visual flair for current and upcoming projects.

As an Environment Artist, you will be responsible for creating the basic building blocks creating the foundation of the game as well as level landmarks, level storytelling and asset optimization, without disrupting gameplay. You will work closely with all departments to ensure that quality and performance goals are met. As a part of a highly motivated and talented team, you will need to be driven, creative and flexible to meet deadlines and sneaky production changes.

At Fatshark all members of the team are involved in the decision making. We are a small enough team to be agile, but big enough to realize great ideas together. Collaboration is key in this highly creative environment. Working in a field where art, design, gameplay and sound comes together, feedback and teamwork skills are crucial in your daily work.

What we offer
Here at Fatshark, we do what we love most: design high-profile games for PCs and consoles, with the passion and freedom of being indie. We offer you:

• A fun, friendly and inclusive work place
• Hands-on production environment with an emphasis on cooperative/multiplayer games
• Opportunities for personal growth with varied projects, experienced co-workers and recurring hack weeks
• Regulated flex time and paid overtime
• Development in Autodesk Stingray and LUA
• Office located in central Stockholm

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with level designers, concept artists and level artists creating assets to be used in-game. For this position, mainly larger constructs such as landscapes, houses, vistas but also smaller props all the way from blockout to shipped quality (optimized etc).
• Create materials/shaders for assets with a strong focus on playability and fast iteration.
• Play the game and extract missing assets, create them, and request concept art/paintovers where needed.
• Create "beautiful corners" for inspiration to others in the team, explore and experiment.
• Make sure the levels run on target platforms. If some areas are assets-heavy you have to be able to analyse why and address the issues by designing around this.
• Take in and address critique and feedback from testers.

Required qualifications:

• 3+ years' experience creating real time 3D environments for Console or PC.
• A graphical eye with a strong understanding of color, form, shape, structure, and silhouette.
• Be able to read and follow a piece of concept art, and be able to improvise without one.
• Expert level proficiency with 3ds Max, ZBrush, 3dCoat, Substance, Photoshop or equivalent 3D and 2D software.
• Ability to author PBR materials and all associated maps for new or existing assets, as well as classical texturing methods.
• Work well in a team environment.
• A strong grasp of modular building and reusability.
• Strong communication skills.
• Ability to meet deadlines and handle multiple tasks.
• Strong technical ability and willingness to learn new tools, techniques and workflows.
• Versatility, independence and a sense of initiative are your strong points.
• Fluent in spoken and written English.
