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 not short-lived launches — they are enduring products with loyal communities, evolving content, and real in-game economies built on virtual goods and player-to-player interaction.

We operate with a small, high-leverage team, a bias toward action, and an increasing focus on AI-first workflows to scale output and efficiency.

The Role

We’re hiring Unity Content Artists (2D) to help power the next phase of our live products.

This is a high-output, hands-on production role focused on creating, preparing, and implementing game-ready assets directly into Unity. You will work across multiple areas of the product, including core content and live features such as Founders Pass.

This is not a pure illustration role. You will be expected to execute inside the engine, contribute to a fast-moving pipeline, and help us scale content production efficiently.

What You’ll Own

Asset Creation & Implementation
Create and prepare high-quality 2D assets using Photoshop
Implement and execute assets directly inside Unity
Adapt visuals from concepts into production-ready, in-game content
Content Execution
Work across multiple areas of the product, including live content systems
Collaborate with content design (theme planning) to bring assets into the game
Support ongoing content releases and feature updates
Production & Workflow
Manage tasks via Jira and deliver against estimated workloads (velocity-based system)
Contribute to a scalable, high-speed content pipeline
Balance speed and quality in a high-output environment
AI-Enabled Workflow
Use generative AI tools to improve speed, iteration, and output quality
Continuously look for ways to integrate AI into your day-to-day workflow
Operate with an openness to new tools, automation, and evolving 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 workflows (Jira or similar)
Intermediate-level 2D art skills across a variety of asset types
Strong communication and ability to work cross-functionally

What We’re Looking For

Core Traits

Self-starter with high initiative — you don’t wait to be told what to do
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving environment
Able to operate independently and “figure things out” when needed
AI Mindset (Important)
Already using generative AI tools in your workflow
Curious, adaptable, and not resistant to new ways of working
Interested in leveraging AI to increase output and efficiency
Background That Tends to Work Well
Experience in small to mid-sized studios
Comfortable wearing multiple hats and contributing beyond a narrow scope
Less reliant on large, siloed production environments

Nice to Have

Experience working on live-service games or high-output production environments
Basic animation experience
Experience working across different types of assets and content systems

What Success Looks Like

You ramp up quickly and begin contributing within your first few weeks
You are able to deliver assets independently inside Unity
You adapt across different content areas, including live features
You contribute to a high-volume production pipeline without sacrificing quality
You actively improve your workflow using AI and new tools

Benefits

Why Join Big Viking Games

Work on live, profitable games with long-term player communities

Be part of a small, high-impact team where your work ships quickly

Operate in an AI-forward environment focused on scaling output

Collaborate in-person with a passionate team at our downtown Toronto office

Opportunity for extended engagement based on performance and business needs
