Senior Environment Artist

Electronic Arts is seeking a Senior Environment Artist to join their team. As a Senior Environment Artist, you will partner with the Senior Art Director and play a foundational role in establishing the visual language, world identity, and material style for new game projects from the ground up.

You will create high-quality, real-time assets, modular kits, and full environments for playable demos, prototypes, and vertical slices. You possess a deep understanding of world-building, composition, and game engine implementation, combined with the craft leadership to set production standards.

Responsibilities:

• Create high-quality real-time environments, architecture, props, and modular kits for playable demos, prototypes, and vertical slices.
• Establish the environment art quality bar and production standards, while providing mentorship, feedback, and craft direction.
• Partner closely with Art Direction to define the project's visual language, materials, scale, color, composition, and overall world identity.
• Design modular environment content that can be reused, adapted, and expanded as the project and gameplay evolves.
• Collaborate with Technical Art and Engineering on procedural, scalable, and efficient environment workflows for real-time production.
• Ensure playable spaces support composition, texturing, lighting, readability, navigation, and gameplay clarity while staying cohesive with the established visual direction.
• Lead environment reviews across internal and external production, helping maintain quality, guide priorities, and support future team growth.

Qualifications:

• Demonstrated expertise in AAA game development with 8+ years of professional environment art experience and shipped console or PC titles.
• Strong portfolio showing high-quality real-time environments, architecture, props, modular world-building, and visual storytelling.
• Experience mentoring artists, leading art reviews, and providing craft direction is required; experience leading or managing small internal or external art teams is preferred.
• Deep understanding of modeling, UVs, texturing, materials, optimization, modular construction, and real-time environment production.
• Strong artistic sensibility across composition, scale, color, lighting, shape language, materials, and gameplay readability.
• Strong experience with modern environment pipelines and tools such as Maya, Blender, Substance 3D, Houdini, ZBrush, Unreal, Unity, Frostbite, or comparable tools and engines.
• Experience adapting environment art across different game genres, visual styles, gameplay needs, procedural workflows, UGC systems, or AI-assisted content pipelines is a plus.

Benefits:

• Electronic Arts offers a comprehensive benefits package that supports work-life balance, including medical insurance, mental health support, retirement savings, paid time off, family leave, and free games.
