About The Position

AGBO is seeking a Junior 2D Game Artist to join our Interactive team on a temporary basis. This is a unique, multidisciplinary role that blends concept art, 2D asset creation, and art implementation for early-stage interactive projects grounded in AGBO’s commitment to high-quality, story-driven worlds.
You’ll contribute to the visual development of characters, environments, moods, and settings—while also taking pre-existing artwork and enhancing it through polish, animation support, or prep. The ideal candidate has a strong foundational art skillset, an understanding of pipeline workflows, and an enthusiasm for creating in a collaborative environment.
This role is based in Raleigh, NC, and we're primarily seeking candidates who are currently located in the area or are open to relocating. In-person collaboration with our technical and creative teams is essential to the success of this position.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of professional or strong academic experience in concept art, illustration, or 2D game art.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating a range of styles—from characters and props to environments and mood pieces.
• Solid understanding of light, color, composition, and storytelling through visuals.
• Experience preparing art assets for implementation (animation, VFX, interactive use, etc.).
• Proficiency in tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. Experience working with Gadot is a plus.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in a cross-disciplinary production environment.
• Adaptable, proactive, and eager to support various aspects of art production.
• Must be based in Raleigh, NC—this is an on-site position with no remote option.

Responsibilities

• Create 2D concept art for characters, environments, props that support world-building and storytelling.
• Enhance and iterate on pre-existing art to align with creative direction and production needs.
• Prepare and implement 2D artwork into the pipeline.
• Work closely with artists, designers, and engineers to ensure assets are optimized and production-ready.
• Support look development and visual consistency across scenes and interactive elements.
• Participate in reviews and iterate quickly based on feedback while maintaining quality.
