Paradoxum Games is looking for a 3D Art Lead to support the Head of Art in driving production, maintaining quality, and helping manage a growing team of artists across live-service content.
This role is a mix of hands-on creation, team leadership, and production ownership. You’ll work closely with the Head of Art to ensure our environments, props, and cosmetic content meet a high visual bar while shipping consistently in a fast-paced live-ops environment.
What You’ll Do
- Support the Head of Art in executing the overall visual direction across environments and assets
- Help manage and mentor a team of 3D artists (environment, props, and outsource/contractors)
- Review assets and provide clear, actionable feedback on modeling, texturing, lighting, and polish
- Own day-to-day art production workflows and ensure tasks are clearly scoped and delivered on time
- Collaborate with design, engineering, and production to align art with gameplay and technical needs
- Help enforce and improve pipelines, naming conventions, and optimization standards
- Identify risks early (quality, scope, deadlines) and proactively communicate solutions
- Assist with onboarding artists and maintaining consistent quality across the team
- Ensure assets meet performance targets and are optimized for a live-service game
- Participate in playtesting and iterate based on feedback, analytics, and player sentiment
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience creating 3D environments and props (modeling, texturing, lighting)
- Demonstrated leadership experience—mentoring artists, leading small teams, or owning areas of production with accountability for quality and delivery
- Proficiency in Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, or similar tools
- Experience working in-engine (Roblox Studio or similar)
- Ability to give clear, constructive feedback and elevate other artists’ work
- Experience working in a fast-paced or live-ops production environment
- Strong understanding of optimization and performance constraints
- Solid communication and organizational skills
- Comfortable balancing quality with production timelines
Nice to Have

- Experience building or improving art pipelines and documentation
- Familiarity with stylized art pipelines and working within technical constraints
