About the role

31st Union in California is seeking an Expert Character Artist who translates concepts into production-ready assets. You'll drive high-quality character work from sculpt to engine, collaborating with cross-discipline teams to align with art direction and gameplay needs. The role demands an 8+ year track record, a standout portfolio, and mastery of real-time pipelines using ZBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine, and Photoshop.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
