- Founded in 2013, Voodoo is a tech company that creates mobile games and apps with a mission to entertain the world. Gathering 800 employees, 7 billion downloads, and over 200 million active users, Voodoo is the #3 mobile publisher worldwide in terms of downloads after Google and Meta. Our portfolio includes chart-topping games like Mob Control and Block Jam, alongside popular apps such as BeReal and Wizz.
- You will be an integral part of a newly established internal studio, a dynamic and focused team dedicated to one of our most promising prototypes in scale. This studio is specifically chartered to improve this high-potential game up to the successful and market-ready title it is meant to become.
- In this role, you'll work across our midcore game portfolio, contributing your artistic leadership to titles that have already demonstrated strong core mechanics and real player engagement. Midcore games demand a rich and immersive visual language, from compelling character and environment art to visceral combat feedback and cohesive world-building, and your vision will be central to delivering that.
- You'll have the opportunity to drive the growth and visual refinement of our midcore titles, leveraging their existing traction to build truly exceptional player experiences. This is a unique chance to join a project pipeline with established momentum, while having a defining impact on the creative direction within a dedicated and agile studio environment.
- Define and own the overall artistic vision for the game, ensuring consistency, quality, and alignment with the product's creative and commercial goals.

- Lead, mentor, and inspire a multidisciplinary art team, providing clear creative direction and actionable feedback at every stage of production.
- Collaborate closely with the General Manager to align the visual direction with gameplay intent and player experience goals.
- Drive the creation and governance of visual style guides, asset pipelines, and quality benchmarks.
- Actively contribute hands-on to key art assets and concepting where needed, setting the quality bar for the team.
- Champion player-centric design thinking, using live data, competitor analysis, and playtesting insights to continuously refine the game's visual experience.
- Proven experience as an Art Director or Senior Lead Artist on at least one shipped mobile title, ideally within the midcore genre.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of a game's visual identity, from early concept through to live product.
