## Description

**About Big Viking Games**

Big Viking Games is a profitable, self-funded live-service game studio based in Toronto. Since 2011, we’ve been building and operating virtual worlds with deep player-driven economies and long-term engagement at their core.

Our flagship titles, _YoWorld_ and _FishWorld_, have served millions of players over their lifetime. These are enduring products with loyal communities, evolving content systems, and rich in-game economies built around virtual goods and player-to-player interaction.

We operate with a small, high-leverage team and a bias toward action. Increasingly, we are embracing AI-first workflows to scale production, accelerate iteration, and operate more efficiently.

**The Role**

We’re hiring a Unity Content Artist (2D) with a Casino / Slots focus to support the development of a slot-based game experience within our broader product ecosystem.

This is a hands-on production role focused on creating, preparing, and implementing themed content directly into Unity. While your primary focus will be slot-style content, this role is not siloed — you will contribute across the broader content pipeline as needed.

This is not a pure illustration role. You will be expected to execute inside the engine, adapt quickly to different content needs, and operate within a fast-moving production environment.

**What You’ll Own**

·         Slot Content Creation & Execution

·         Create and prepare 2D assets for slot gameplay, including themes, skins, and visual elements

·         Adapt content to match slot-style visual requirements and gameplay needs

·         Support the development and iteration of a slot-based experience within the product

·         Unity Implementation

·         Implement and execute assets directly inside Unity

·         Ensure assets are properly integrated and functional in-game

·         Work within the existing content pipeline to deliver production-ready assets

·         Cross-Functional Content Support

·         Contribute to both slot-specific and general content tasks as needed

·         Collaborate closely with content/design teams to execute gameplay features

·         Support a flexible, shared content production environment

·         AI-Enabled Workflow

·         Use generative AI tools to improve speed, iteration, and output quality

·         Continuously explore ways to integrate AI into your workflow

·         Operate with openness to new tools, automation, and evolving production pipelines

## Requirements

Must-Have Skills & Experience

·         Solid experience working as a 2D Artist in Unity (implementation required)

·         Proficiency in Photoshop

·         Ability to take assets from concept to in-game execution

·         Experience working within structured production pipelines

·         Strong adaptability across different types of content work

**What We’re Looking For**

Core Traits

·         Flexible, team-first mindset — able to move between content areas as needed

·         Strong execution focus — you ship work, not just create assets

·         Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving environment

·         AI Mindset (Important)

·         Already using generative AI tools in your workflow

·         Open to learning and integrating AI into day-to-day production

·         Interested in increasing output through smarter workflows

·         Background That Tends to Work Well

·         Experience in small to mid-sized studios

·         Comfortable wearing multiple hats and contributing broadly

·         Less reliant on large, siloed production environments

**Nice to Have**

Experience working on:

·         Slot games

·         Casino or social casino products

·         Familiarity with themed content systems or “skinning” approaches

·         Understanding of how visual content supports engagement and retention

**What Success Looks Like**

·         You contribute to slot content quickly with minimal onboarding

·         You are able to implement assets independently inside Unity

·         You adapt easily between slot-focused work and general content tasks

·         You deliver consistently within a fast-paced production pipeline

·         You improve your workflow using AI and new tools
