[Hiring] Senior 3D Gameplay Artist @Homa

Role Description

As a Senior 3D Gameplay Artist (Animation & VFX), you'll play a key role in owning the visual and motion game feel of our gameplay mechanics, from greybox to shipped asset, so that objects read as fun before a player ever touches them. You'll work directly with art direction, game design, and gameplay engineers on All in Hole, a top-50 grossing title, on the elements players interact with most. Your main responsibilities will include:

• Own game feel end to end: take a mechanic from greybox and UX blockout through animation, VFX, and final sign-off.
• Animate gameplay objects by hand: idle, activation, interaction feedback, and state transitions, with real command of timing, weight, anticipation, and follow-through.
• Build VFX and shaders that land the hit: impact, feedback, and state change that communicate clearly without drowning the read of the object.
• Translate concept into 3D without losing its soul: match the intent, elevate the charm, and challenge the concept early when the gameplay asks for something different.
• Iterate directly in Unity: prefabs, colliders, animator state machines, and enough technical range to test your own ideas in minutes rather than hand them off.

This is a great opportunity to own the craft that players remember most, on a game already in the global top 50, with no one ahead of you in the queue — the person in this seat sets the bar for how gameplay objects look, move, and feel.

Qualifications

• 3D animation craft: hand-keyed work that gives personality and weight to objects that aren't characters, grounded in animation fundamentals rather than tooling.
• Strong VFX skills: particle systems and impact effects timed to reinforce readability, not decorate it.
• A core gameplay brain: you're a gamer, you read design intent off a prototype, and you can hold a real conversation with designers about why a mechanic is or isn't fun.
• Working fluency in Unity: blockouts, prefabs, animator and state machines, and the technical range to unblock yourself.
• Genuine shader ability: you can write and debug your own, not just wire up existing ones.
• Fidelity to concept: you hit the intent of a concept closely while making it better through the 3D pipeline.
• Clear visual communication: storyboards and blockouts that get every stakeholder seeing the same outcome before work starts.
• Autonomy and initiative: you hold a quality bar without it being checked for you, and you bring the unrequested improvement alongside the requested one.

Requirements

• Bonus points if you can concept the idea yourself and push it forward.
• Have worked with physics-based gameplay.
• Have mentored or reviewed other artists' work.
