# Lead Level Artist

> Sperasoft · Belgrade, Serbia · Full-time · Posted 2026-04-13

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Art

## Description

We are currently growing our team and looking for a strong, experienced artist to strengthen our existing environment art team..

We already have a solid foundation, but we need a Lead Level Artist who can come in and actively raise the quality bar - both through their own work and by elevating those around them.

This is not a pure management role. We are not looking for someone who only reviews, delegates, or attends meetings. Instead, we need a hands-on leader who genuinely wants to model environments, perform set dressing, and build levels in the engine - while helping the team grow through example and mentorship.

**Key Responsibilities**

-   Collaborate with Level Designers and Art Director to maintain visual quality and gameplay clarity.
-   Help develop our current team by sharing knowledge, techniques, and best practices.
-   Model environment assets (modular pieces, props, terrain elements, hero assets).
-   Perform set dressing yourself: composition, storytelling through props, decals, and scene staging.
-   Work inside the engine to build and polish level art on a daily basis.
-   Ensure technical performance (LODs, draw calls, memory) without sacrificing visual ambition.
-   Proactively fill gaps in modular kits with your own high-quality models.
-   Review team members' work constructively.

**What we are looking for**

-   You want to model and dress environments, not just direct others.
-   You lead by doing. The team respects you because they see you in the trenches.
-   You are excited about helping a team grow, not just doing your own work in isolation.

## Requirements

-   5+ years in environment art / level art for games.

-   Strong portfolio showing both:
-   Your own environment modeling
-   Your set dressing work
-   Technical Skills
-   Strong modeling skills (Maya, Blender, 3ds Max).
-   Game engine proficiency: Unreal 5 or Unity.
-   PBR, texture creation (Substance), and optimization.

## Benefits

-   Working with an international team of world-class professionals on exciting and challenging projects 
-   Learning & Development opportunities – mentoring, lectures, participation at industry conferences and events 
-   Medical Care package  
-   Sensibly flexible working hours  
-   Breakfasts, snacks and fruits available during the day, tea and coffee machines
