About the job

As an Environment Artist you will create high-quality natural assets for PC and consoles.

You’re good at communicating the artistic vision, self-critique your own work, and iterate on ways to improve the overall aesthetics. Ideally you have a few years of experience with creating high level art for big game projects and would like to move into a personal studio with a grand vision. We hope you have a lively passion for making and playing games!

Our requirements

• Expert skills in organic modeling and texturing, with an understanding of technical constraints and pipeline, and how it affects asset creation
• Strong ability to create and compose believable and realistic environments.

Job Description

👉 The full job desc with a sneak peak on current art direction

😎 Have you ever thought to create beyond games? 

At uKu we are convinced that the next big thing will fill the gap between traditional video games and mobile social apps, mixing communication and entertainment. 

Despite spending more time online, the newest generation is sadly called “the loneliest generation”. We are on a mission to fight their boredom and create the best online place to meet new people, spend time with friends and create awesome memories… in a 3D world, on mobile. 

In 9 months we already assembled the best team to deliver this mission (we are 12 👋), raised money with the best European VCs and shipped many iterations of our alpha version.

🚨 Now, we need you (no pressure…)!

Design & art direction are gonna be key elements of the experience we want to provide to  users. We want them to live tremendous, impactful, imaginative, extatic moments surrounded by people. They should feel represented, seen, and creative. This new world should live on their phone, entwined with their reality. 

By joining us, you will have a “carte blanche” to iterate on the vision, and build the artistic foundations of the next billion users platform. Among other things: you will go further than any other games (because, heh, we’re not a game), you will build the first truly multiplayer mobile app, you will design the weirdest props & amazing avatars/characters, be a true 3D generalist and create your own team (in due time).

Skills & Requirements

• You are a true 3D generalist - you love creating environments, character design, props designs, VFX and why not some UI/UX (but don’t worry, we know how to do this last one). 
• You are a natural leader (if such thing exists) - whenever you see a problem you fix it, you are passionate, driven and thrive surround by a team. 
• You have a vision - you are eager to collaborate with the 3 cofounders on the vision, wtf ideas, and art direction. 
• You live to ship - you know how to drive a design team from creation to production, optimise for mobile and ship frequently (you know that only shipped design has value).
• Low ego, high impact - you are never satisfied with status quo, you fight for the best ideas to win but you know how to operate in a team, even disagree & commit when necessary. You are reliable, accountable and help the whole team win. Aka: you have an impact both at the individual & team level, people fight to have you with them
• Excellent communicator - you are able to speak and write English fluently, summarise and present your ideas clearly, you know when to ask for help or give feedbacks. Aka: you never heard yet someone telling you “I don’t understand what you mean”
• Shared values - you want to join an international and diverse team because you know that talent does not depend on the place you are born in. Aka: you thrive at the contact of diverse & passionate people

About the Company

🚀  We are on a mission

Despite spending more and more time online, people feel more isolated than ever. Current social apps are centered on individuals, and most communication apps are dull. We aim for most of our users' time to be spent with good friends, creating new memories and a sense of belonging. So, we are creating a new category between social & games. 

✨  Our take

The best online interactions happen in multiplayer games where people come for the game and stay for the socialisation. Unfortunately, lot of people don’t define themselves as gamers and are still missing out! We believe gen-z deserve better. Gamer or not.

uKu is the junction between a discord voice chat and a mobile game. It allows groups of friends to meet and chill in a 3D room (= their "coloc"), live new adventures, customise it and have fun along the way. Come for the communication, stay for the game.

👀  Current stage

• We assembled in July 21 to try a few ideas, prototype and learn during the summer. 
• We pitched our vision to some of the best investors in the world and raised our pre-seed in Oct-Nov 21. 
• Since Nov 21, we are busy building the alpha of uKu and testing w/ users on a weekly basis. We are now a team of +12 passionate builders distributed between Colombia & France. Adding hundreds of users on the waitlist every month (👋 Tiktok)
