2D Game Artist (Mid to Senior)

Responsibilities

• Create stylized, family-friendly 2D art: characters, props, environments, UI, coloring pages, thumbnails, banners, and in-game reward art within the ABCmouse house style
• Casual games experience a plus
• Build and iterate on interactive 2D animations in Rive for our Flutter-based game pipeline
• Own assigned areas of the product from brief to ship — managing your workload, hitting deadlines, and holding a high bar for quality
• Use a mix of Art (Adobe) and AI-assisted tools to generate illustrated content datasets at scale
• Export and optimize assets for cross-platform mobile delivery (iOS, Android, Fire OS, web)
• Apply a working knowledge of 3D to support or lightly contribute to 3D content as needed
• Proactively identify pipeline gaps and propose improvements
• Collaborate with curriculum, product, and engineering; participate in creative reviews and incorporate feedback quickly

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional 2D game art, illustration, or UI art in a production environment
• Portfolio demonstrating a cute, stylized, family-friendly art style consistent with ABCmouse
• Proven ability to own work end to end without constant direction — self-directed, accountable, and reliable
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for mobile-optimized asset production
• Experience with an interactive animation tool (Rive, Spine, or equivalent)
• Working familiarity with 3D — enough to review assets or contribute lightly within an existing pipeline
• Clear communicator who surfaces blockers early and keeps collaborators informed
• Eager to learn new tools and pipelines, including AI-assisted workflows

Preferred Qualifications

• Portfolio examples in children's media, ed-tech, or stylized game art
• Direct Rive experience, including interactive state machines
• Hands-on 3D experience (Blender, Maya, or similar) in a stylized or toon-shaded aesthetic
• Experience using AI image generation tools (Scenario, Midjourney, Firefly) in production
• Familiarity with Flutter app art requirements and PNG/SVG optimization
• Experience in ed-tech, children's entertainment, or mission-driven creative work
• Figma proficiency for design handoff
• Experience with Frame.io or similar review and asset-management platforms
