Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, United Kingdom Third Kind Games Full time

As a Concept Artist you will have a desire to build a career in gaming, working with our clients and our team to create innovative and inspiring Concepts that set new benchmarks.

Third Kind Games - a Virtuos Studio, is a world-class co-development games studio. Third Kind Games was founded in 2016 by a team of nine former Activision veterans and became a Virtuos Studio in 2024.

Our studio is based in Royal Leamington Spa and we also have remote studios in Poland and Spain. Our three studios have been built on the same original spirit and values since our beginning.

We work with some of the biggest names in the games industry such as Blizzard, Amazon, Microsoft and Mythical Games. We're proud of our track record working on critically acclaimed games and franchises. We are also setting new benchmarks for creativity in the games industry, driving technical expertise in programming alongside creative innovation.

What is it like to be a Third Kinder?

We are a diverse team of people. We are collaborative, open-minded creatives who embrace ideas and knowledge from everyone in our team, with the aim of developing and inspiring ourselves, our projects and our games.

Work life balance and flexibility are very important to us and our team. At TKG we offer a place where our team can be their most creative, imaginative and confident selves. We want all of our team to feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who they are at work. TKG recently received a GOLD Award in Mind Charity's Workplace Wellbeing Index, recognising our dedication to our team's mental health and wellbeing.

What we are looking for from a Third Kinder

  • Be a team player, but also work on your own, whilst knowing when to ask for advice from your colleagues.
  • Demonstrate a good, fundamental understanding of game development processes.
  • Be naturally inquisitive and keep up to date with emerging technologies and industry trends and developments.
  • Be highly adaptable and a great problem solver.
Skills you need

  • Collate and prepare exciting visual material to define and improve the content of the game.
  • Experience using game engines including Unreal.
  • Good communication skills and an eye for detail.
