The Clash of Clans art team is looking for a VFX Artist who can completely own visual effects, including asset creation as well as look and feel across the game. We need to drastically improve the quality of the VFX currently in the game; you will be that champion, with a dedicated focus to make Clash the highest quality standard for VFX in gaming. Working closely with Game Design and UX to think Player First about the best ways to implement and improve VFX for the game.

Working in the Clash of Clans art team is different. You are expected to seek feedback, not approval, meaning you need to be highly autonomous, working within a completely flat environment where you need to balance your own ambitions with the needs of the team. A large part of that is actively hunting for contrary opinions that will lift your work by exposing your personal biases and blind spots. Ultimately, you decide what feedback to action because the entire team trusts you to make the best decisions for the game and the players.
