As a Senior Biome Artist at BULKHEAD, you will play a key role in crafting visually compelling, immersive environments that define the quality of our worlds’ biomes.

You will bring strong visual instincts and technical precision, driving scene development from reference gathering through to engine integration. Your work will reflect a deep understanding of form, scale, composition and fidelity, with a proactive approach to problem-solving and innovation.

As a senior team member, you’ll collaborate closely across disciplines, contributing confidently to planning discussions and production alignment. You’ll give and receive constructive feedback, making informed decisions that balance creative and practical needs, and you’ll mentor junior and mid-level artists to uphold and elevate team standards.

This role offers the opportunity to influence visual direction, refine pipelines and contribute meaningfully to the success of both the project and your teammates, while continuing to grow as a creative and technical leader.
