Plastic Piranha is an independent, self-funded game development company based in West Hollywood, CA. Our current project, Rekoil, has been in development for a little over a year, and is expected to ship later this year. We are constantly involved in new and exciting projects, and because of this we're growing!


Plastic Piranha is a healthy mix of on-site and remote employees, and we'd like to keep the balance. As of now, we're currently hiring two on-site and two remote-based 3D environment artists.

Plastic Piranha offers competitive salaries, benefits and vacation to its on-site employees. Remote employment has generally been handled on a contract basis. All positions are considered full-time.

Responsibilities:

3D Environment Artists are responsible for creating highly-original, next-generation game art for integration into the Unreal Engine. Environment artists are expected to closely collaborate with members of the design/production teams in order to hit the aesthetic and performance goals of each asset. Assets will most likely be realistic, "next-gen" style art, and will cover both organic and hard surface.

Qualifications: You must show a portfolio with recent (and relevant) works!
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Extensive working knowledge of 2D and 3D art packages such as Photoshop/Maya/Max (or similar).
  • Passionate about games and able to articulate that passion clearly and analytically. A broad knowledge base of console and PC games, specifically top tier FPS titles
  • Positive, professional attitude. Disciplined and self-motivated with a strong work ethic

Preference to Applicants With:
  • Shipped-title or released-mod experience
  • Experience working on a mod/title on the Unreal Engine
  • B.A. (or higher), or related experience

In order to apply for these positions, send an email to careers[at]plasticpiranha[dot]com with the subject "Full Name | 3D Environment Artist (Remote)" or "Full Name | 3D Environment Artist (On-Site)" and remember to include your portfolio!

Thanks!

Go ahead and apply - it surely can't hurt! We also keep applications on file so if we aren't hiring for your position now it doesn't mean we won't be in the future.

Hey guys, thanks for the awesome response! We've been overwhelmed with great applications and are still going through each submission. I'm closing recruitment on the positions listed above, but I'm still sorting through each application. If you have applied via e-mail, you will definitely receive a response, albeit a bit delayed.
