As a global gaming company, we've helped millions to fight their way through fearsome mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, battle each other and the environment in Rust Console Edition and most recently worked with Bethesda Game Studios to craft new adventures for Vault Dwellers around the world in Fallout 76.

Most recently, we worked with Rockstar Games to bring the beloved western experience Red Dead Redemption and its horror companion Undead Nightmare together for the first time on the Nintendo Switch and modern PlayStation systems

We strive to avoid crunch. Overtime is optional and always paid, and we offer flexible working hours to allow you to enjoy a normal family life whilst making great games.

We're looking for an Environment Artist to join our award winning team in Middlesbrough (UK), home to the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline and countryside.

As an Experienced Environment Artist at Double Eleven, you'll be specialising in creating a diverse range of environments using all of the latest art production techniques, help schedule the creation of the assets as well as supporting fellow artists.

We can support UK relocation and have a dedicated People team on standby to assist you and your family with every step to us.

Interested? We kindly ask all applicants to submit a portfolio to support their application. We're afraid applications without an accompanying portfolio will not be considered.

Strictly no agencies (sorry guys!) and we're unable to sponsor a visa for this role.
