Full Time

Unity Content Artist (2D) With Casino / Slots Focus

Big Viking Games is a profitable, self-funded live-service game studio based in Toronto. Since 2011, we've been building and operating virtual worlds with deep player-driven economies and long-term engagement at their core.
Our flagship titles, YoWorld and FishWorld, have served millions of players over their lifetime. These are enduring products with loyal communities, evolving content systems, and rich in-game economies built around virtual goods and player-to-player interaction.
We operate with a small, high-leverage team and a bias toward action. Increasingly, we are embracing AI-first workflows to scale production, accelerate iteration, and operate more efficiently.
We're hiring a Unity Content Artist (2D) with a Casino / Slots focus to support the development of a slot-based game experience within our broader product ecosystem.
This is a hands-on production role focused on creating, preparing, and implementing themed content directly into Unity. While your primary focus will be slot-style content, this role is not siloed — you will contribute across the broader content pipeline as needed.
This is not a pure illustration role. You will be expected to execute inside the engine, adapt quickly to different content needs, and operate within a fast-moving production environment.
What You'll Own:
Slot Content Creation & Execution
Create and prepare 2D assets for slot gameplay, including themes, skins, and visual elements
Adapt content to match slot-style visual requirements and gameplay needs
Support the development and iteration of a slot-based experience within the product
Unity Implementation
Implement and execute assets directly inside Unity
Ensure assets are properly integrated and functional in-game
Work within the existing content pipeline to deliver production-ready assets
Cross-Functional Content Support
Contribute to both slot-specific and general content tasks as needed
Collaborate closely with content/design teams to execute gameplay features
Support a flexible, shared content production environment
AI-Enabled Workflow
Use generative AI tools to improve speed, iteration, and output quality
Continuously explore ways to integrate AI into your workflow
Operate with openness to new tools, automation, and evolving production pipelines
