Unity Content Artist (2D) - Casino / Slots Focus (12-Month Contract)
Unity Content Artist (2D) With Casino / Slots Focus 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. 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.

- 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
