2D Artist

RubyPlay develops innovative games for the iGaming industry, having created over 200 titles since 2017 and earned recognition including the BFTH Arena Awards for Best Online Casino Game. The studio operates across 10+ global markets with a distributed team of specialists from 34 countries. They're seeking a 2D artist to join the Art Team and craft polished, functional visuals for slot games played on mobile devices worldwide.

You'll handle several core visual areas

Symbols need to be visually consistent, clearly hierarchical, and instantly readable on any screen size. Backgrounds should establish atmosphere and mood while strategically guiding player focus to the reels and main gameplay elements. Characters require charisma and personality with proper asset preparation for animation—you'll conceptualize and draw distinct, readable stages and visual upgrades. UI, pop-ups and feature screens demand both emotional resonance and functional clarity, balancing typography, layout and composition.

Beyond traditional artwork, you'll leverage generative AI tools. This means creating character and background concept drafts with Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Nano Banana and similar platforms. You'll optimize production timelines by integrating AI into the existing pipeline, handle post-processing and high-resolution upscaling of AI outputs, and stay current on generative trends to guide the team.

To succeed here you need strong foundational skills in design, color, light, volume, perspective and spatial thinking—AI tools amplify rather than replace your core abilities. Slot game experience is mandatory; you understand the technical and genre-specific demands of functional iGaming art. Work independently without micromanagement, manage your time well, and communicate confidently in English with your distributed team.

Your portfolio should showcase both commercial work and personal studies, sketches and work-in-progress steps that reveal your thinking and development process. Include finished shipped projects and be transparent about your specific contributions.

Nice to have: experience with Spine 2D or similar animation software for blocking out assets, plus documented WIPs from previous projects.
