Job Description

Testcode is developing a brand-new game centered around exploration, discovery, and immersive worldbuilding and we’re looking for a skilled 3D Artist & Animator to help bring our world to life. This isn’t just about making things move—it’s about building a living, breathing universe. You’ll help shape how players feel as they explore our environments, encounter strange new sights, and uncover the mysteries of our game world. What You’ll Do:

• Bring Worlds to Life: Design and model environments, props, and creatures that evoke curiosity and wonder—think stylized, strange, and full of mood.
• Animate with Purpose: Create smooth, expressive animations that enhance gameplay and storytelling—from environmental effects to character interactions.
• Define the Visual Identity: Work with the team to nail the game’s aesthetic tone—how it moves, how it breathes, and how it welcomes exploration.
• Collaborate Closely: Work hand-in-hand with engineers and designers to integrate art into gameplay seamlessly, ensuring visuals support interactivity and immersion.

Who You Are:

• A senior 3D artist/animator with strong experience in games or game-like projects. Your portfolio shows stylized 3D environments, expressive animations, and a sharp eye for visual storytelling.
• Proficient in tools like Blender, Maya, Unity, or Unreal, and have experience with modeling, rigging, and animating.
• Passionate about exploration and sci-fi/fantasy themes—you're excited by strange worlds and atmospheric environments.
• Bonus if you’ve worked on VFX, creature design, or procedural world elements.
• Can work remotely, manage your time, and move fast without hand-holding.

How to Apply: We’d love to see your portfolio. In your application, include:

• A bit about your tools and process.
• A recent favorite game that nails “exploration” in your eyes.

Why Join Us: Testcode is a tiny team building and experimenting in the app space. We are backed by top tier investors (such as a16z). If you read this far, congrats, we also like people that read everything and mention the word "planet" when they respond to us. We only hire people who are senior and know what they're doing (it's part of what makes being a remote team work). Contract: NY or Remote
