2D Artist


Viximo is building a rich creative community and a massively scalable service to deliver content over the web that helps creators, developers, and site owners monetize social interactions. We're the product of a cool co-working space in Cambridge, so if you've ever considered starting your own company or are excited about the opportunity to make a big impact on something in its earliest stages, this is the place for you. We are venture funded and our environment is fast-paced, team oriented, and highly interactive. So if you're a 2D art star (or willing to become one) and that sounds like a fit for you, then give us a shout.

Responsibilities:

  • You will be a generalist who focuses on 2D art assets including application user interfaces, 2D game content, and textures.
  • A well qualified candidate would be able to support the concept art and/or modeling work of the 3D Artists.
  • You will need to have a strong sense of form, shape, structure, and silhouette in regards to texturing, and a strong graphical sense in regards to user interface layout and design

Qualifications:

  • You must be an expert in Photoshop or an equivalent 2D paint program
  • Knowledge of 3D packages (Maya, 3D Studio Max, etc.) and 2D vector packages (Illustrator, etc.) is a strong plus
  • Strong foundation in traditional arts, including figure drawing and illustration, is a strong plus

This is a full-time position, on-site at our offices in Cambridge, MA.
