Technical Artist

You're as at home in VS Code as in Photoshop. You can design a game, build its UI, and then turn what you made into a system an agent can reuse. Most of the job is that second step: every visual decision you make becomes a template, a recipe or a pipeline, and the bar is that a generated game doesn't look generated.

You own the base UI templates and the game surface visual systems, you own the particles and recipes systems, and you share ownership of the visual AI pipelines, asset generation included. We make our own games too, so the work includes design and art on titles we ship ourselves. You work with the founder and the founding engineers on engine and platform.

• Own the base UI templates: the component kit and screen patterns every Kantrip game starts from.
• Own the game surface templates and visual systems: backgrounds, boards, HUDs, transitions.
• Own the particles and recipes systems: build new capabilities, improve existing ones, and write a large library of examples.
• Share ownership of the visual AI pipelines, including asset generation: sprites, textures and UI art produced from a style direction.
• Do design, art and polish on our first-party titles.

• Your portfolio decides this application: game UI, motion and polish.
• You write TypeScript, or can get there fast, and you build your own UI.
• You've shipped game visuals on mobile, web or console, and you can describe game feel in curves, timing and easing.
• You've built reusable visual systems: component kits, templates or style guides that shipped in more than one product.
• You use AI tools daily for both code and art.
• Based in (or willing to relocate to) London. We work in person, five days a week, from our office in Bloomsbury.
