Senior Environment Artist - GOALS game studio (Stockholm or Remote)

You will be part of changing the way we look at games

What would our players consider their GOALS home? Maybe on a football pitch located on a beach in Rio, playing your opponents in the middle of the rainforest or on the peak of a mountain.

What if you would play a key role in making that become a reality and where you also will be supported by a professional art team, having one thing in common - great ambitions and high professional standards.

We're creating a game that will be a perfect mix between arcade and reality. More vibrant, more street, more exciting. The future of digital football gaming where anything is possible.

Be part of creating and exploring the endless possibilities of world creation and pitch locations at GOALS.
