Job Description
Testcode is developing a brand-new game centered around exploration, discovery, and immersive worldbuilding and we’re looking for a creative 2D Artist to help shape how players interact with our world.
This isn’t just about making things look good. It’s about designing intuitive, beautiful UI, crafting mood-setting visuals, and helping define the overall tone and identity of our game.
What You’ll Do:
- Design the Look & Feel: Help define the game’s visual identity, from menus to world maps, icons to interface elements—everything that supports the player’s sense of wonder and curiosity.
- Craft the UI: Collaborate closely with our engineers to create user interfaces that are both functional and beautiful.
- Illustrate the Experience: Contribute 2D artwork that enhances storytelling—such as visual flourishes, key illustrations, or thematic UI overlays.
Who You Are:
- A senior 2D artist with experience in visual design, UI/UX, and game interfaces.
- Someone with a strong portfolio showing work on games (or game-like interfaces) , particularly with a focus on exploration, sci-fi, or fantasy themes.
- Comfortable working in tools like Photoshop, Figma, Illustrator , or similar.
- Passionate about visual storytelling and how art can guide a player’s journey.
- Bonus if you’ve worked on map design, HUD elements, or worldbuilding visuals.
- Can work remotely and make fast progress independently.
How to Apply:
We’d love to see your portfolio, especially pieces that show UI, exploration-based design, or visual storytelling. In your application, include:
- How your design approach supports both player immersion and usability.
- A recent favorite game that nails “exploration” in your eyes.
Why Join Us:
Testcode is a tiny team building and experimenting in the app space. We are backed by top tier investors (such as a16z). If you read this far, congrats, we also like people that read everything and mention the word "planet" when they respond to us. We only hire people who are senior and know what they're doing (it's part of what makes being a remote team work).
