We are looking for a passionate and experienced VFX Artist to join our Shanghai Studio.

As a VFX artist at Supercell, you will work closely with game designers, game programmers, and game artists, and create content that improves gameplay feel and features. You will also make important decisions about the overall look of the game and create VFX that enhance visual feedback and player experience.
