About the role

As a Cinematic Artist at Tarsier, you'll join us in an exciting phase as we are developing our new franchise following in the steps of award winning Little Nightmares. You will work closely with our art team and Narrative Director, working out how to tell the story of the game through interactive cinematics, which balances both art and gameplay. 

You'll be an important contributor to finding the style and essence of the storytelling in our new game, and get the chance to work on interesting and unique stories with a devoted team.

What we offer

At Tarsier, it's important that our office is welcoming and fun so that our employees want to work onsite; because we believe that working closely with your team is the best way to make great games. That is why our office management and HR department works closely with making the office a really good place to both work and hangout in. We have a large focus on ergonomic, personal work stations, we eat breakfast together on Wednesdays, and we play games or music together in the jam room. Sometimes we grab an after work beer together in the kitchen, or throw a Christmas party for the ages.

Our benefit package includes:

• Pension
• Insurance (life, occupational injury, health care support, sick leave)
• Health contributions and check-ups
• Sports/healthy activities
• Six weeks of vacation
• Overtime pay
• Relocation help
• Flexible working hours

Your responsibilities will include:

• In charge of the cinematics of the game
• Solving and figuring out how to tell the story of the game in unique and interactive ways in collaboration with the narrative director and art director
• Close collaboration with the art and animation department

We think you are:

• Passionate about telling interactive stories
• Experienced with creating cinematics for games
• Proficient with in-engine tools such as blueprint, lighting, post-effect work, cinematic camera, and level sequencer
• Able to do blockout/rough animations, so the intent of the cinematic will be easily understandable.
• A self-going and driven artist
• A strong collaborator
• Proficient in written and spoken English

It's a plus if you also have:

• Concept skills for storyboards and other previz work
• Have the ability to take animations to a more polished level

This position is full time onsite in the office in Malmö, and will start with a trial period.

Currently employing around 70 people, Tarsier Studios is an independent game development studio based in the vibrant city of Malmö, Sweden. We are the developers of Statik and the award winning Little Nightmares franchise.

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and genders, and look forward to hearing from you.
