Crunchy Games is a well-funded start-up creating unique web-based MMOs with an emphasis on skill-based play for mid and hard-core gamers. The company is founded by a veteran of the industry who has been nominated for IGF Technical Excellence and GDC Online Game Design and Innovation awards.

We are looking to hire a Lead Artist. This position will spearhead the generation of in-game assets for a 2D title. Because this will be a web-based game, experience working with smaller art assets is a must.

Responsibilities include:
-establishing the artistic vision of the game
-overseeing the work of other artists to ensure that work is consistent with the established vision
-generating in-game assets
-designing and creating user interface components

Qualified candidates will:
-have been a lead artist on at least two released titles
-have a strong 2D background generating bitmapped-based assets and animations
-have experience with designing and creating user interface components
-have a broad range of talent, capable of drawing terrain, clothing, humans, creatures, and other assets
-be willing to work in Mountain View, CA and the surrounding area

Experience leading a team is a plus.

Compensation would include both a competitive salary and equity in the company.

Please send a resume and a portfolio (or link to one) to brian@crunchy.com.
