Techniсal Artist

Plarium is an international developer of award-winning mobile and desktop games. More than 1300 of our specialists work remotely or at offices in Israel, Ukraine, Poland, and the USA.

RAID: Shadow Legends, Mech Arena, and our other 20 hit titles unite more than 435 million players worldwide. With over 13 years’ experience, we strive for boundary-pushing gameplay and graphics. We pair this with our dedication to innovation through analytics, marketing, and community interaction.

We are looking for a talented Technical Artist to join our RPG Department, which is responsible for developing RAID: Shadow Legends, a mobile MMORPG that combines battle collection mechanics and cutting-edge graphics in a dark fantasy setting. Our flagship title is enjoyed by more than 81 million players worldwide – you can find it on iOS, Android, and PC/Mac.

The successful candidate will become a part of a brand new team that will be developing a new feature set in the RAID: Shadow Legends universe. The team will be working directly with the world of our flagship title to create a minigame. We are looking for someone who can provide a creative approach to the development of high-quality graphics and high-end visual effects.

While it will be simpler in terms of gameplay, this minigame is going to be just as dynamic, and will include similar RPG elements: upgrading characters, the capacity to gain skills and improve characters, and engaging in boss fights.

The successful candidate will be able to work at our office in Warsaw or remotely in Europe.
