VFX ARTIST

We are DICE, the award-winning Studio based in Stockholm, Sweden, best known for creating the phenomenally successful 20-years old Battlefield franchise. We strongly believe our people are the backbone and driving force to our creative products, and are always looking for diverse, talented, and self-motivated game creators to help us build the best Battlefield experiences and make our studio the best in the industry.
Electronic Arts is all-in on Battlefield, committed to unlocking its potential as one of the best first-person shooter franchises in the world. To make that vision a reality, a global effort has been launched, coordinating multiple studios under a leadership team of industry veterans to build a connected Battlefield universe.
DICE is a multiplayer powerhouse and will use its expertise to continue developing Battlefield's one-of-a-kind multiplayer suite, while also building a team to support our new Seattle-based studio, Ridgeline Games, who are leading the development of a single-player narrative campaign. Ripple Effect Studios is then focused on creating an entirely new Battlefield experience that will complement and build upon the series' foundations.
As a studio we encourage career development, well-being and fun, which in the VFX team translates to a high degree of creative ownership, a democratic decision-making process and plenty of growth opportunities both inside and outside of the team. We promote realistic and sustainable planning to provide a healthy work-life balance. We also organize activities such as workshops, life drawing sessions and regular team meals to bring the team closer together and foster a fun and inclusive workplace.
To create the renowned effects in our games, the DICE VFX team uses an array of techniques, from basic particles to complex GPU effects and imported offline simulations. The team often works closely together with other disciplines. This includes artistic crafts such as environment art, lighting and audio design, but also engineers at Frostbite and DICE, to develop and make use of cutting-edge rendering features and workflows.
