Role

We are about to make a big leap forward to push Mob Control into the next level, and you might be the chosen one, Neo. You’ll play a key role in the upcoming evolution of Mob Control, a mobile game with over 400 million downloads.

As a Senior Technical Artist, you’ll bridge the gap between art and engineering, designing scalable UI/UX systems, building stylised shaders, and solving creative challenges that directly impact gameplay and player experience. We’re looking for a hybrid profile: someone with strong artistic fundamentals and enough technical experience to bring modular, visually stunning systems to life in Unity. You’ll collaborate closely with game designers, developers, and artists in a fast‑paced LiveOps environment, contributing to one of the world’s most played mobile games.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement modular and reusable UI/UX systems (cards, popups, banners, upgrades, etc.).
• Create custom shaders and materials (2D/3D) for characters, environments, and UI elements.
• Build tween‑based animation systems and shader‑based responsive feedback FX.
• Support gameplay teams with technical visual solutions and FX that enhance readability and impact.
• Develop and integrate screen‑space FX and post‑processing effects for menus and gameplay.
• Contribute to VFX design for in‑game actions, events, and player feedback.
• Prototype and maintain tools to streamline art production and optimize pipelines.
• Create basic 3D models or animations as placeholder content when needed.

Profile

• 6+ years of experience in game development, ideally in mobile or stylized GaaS titles.
• Proven track record across full production cycles (from pre‑production to LiveOps).
• Strong grasp of visual design principles: color, form, contrast, timing, motion.
• Solid Unity experience: uGUI, Shader Graph or Amplify, Animation and Timeline systems.
• Experience creating stylised shaders for VFX and gameplay.
• Familiarity with editor tools and custom inspectors in Unity.
• Proficiency in 2D/3D tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, or Maya.

Nice To Have

• Experience in high‑volume LiveOps pipelines with frequent content updates.
• A strong portfolio of stylised UI/UX, VFX, or technical art systems.
• Passion for solving creative problems through smart, scalable technical workflows.
