Job Description

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top-50 grossing charts. These are milestones, not the finish line. With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers the market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built-in, to find product-market fit fast and scale mass-market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years.

TEAM

You'll be joining a highly ambitious team working on a new mobile RPG game currently in active development. The team is intentionally lean; this role comes with a high level of ownership and impact. You won't be one VFX artist among many; you'll play a key role in shaping the game's visual quality, player experience, and overall game feel from an early stage. Reporting directly to the Art Director and collaborating closely with developers, UI/UX, and fellow artists in a highly iterative and feedback-driven environment. This is an opportunity to have a visible impact on a game's artistic direction and contribute to building a visually memorable player experience.

MISSION

As a Senior VFX Artist, you will play a critical role in shaping the visual identity and game feel of a new mobile RPG title. You'll own the creation and implementation of high-quality gameplay VFX that make combat impactful, rewards satisfying, and every player interaction feel polished and memorable.

Your main responsibilities will include:

Create impactful and polished gameplay VFX for heroes, bosses, abilities, combat interactions, and gameplay feedback systems
Design and implement high-impact effects for reward moments, progression systems, hero unlocks/upgrades, store interactions, and pop-ups
Work directly inside Unity to implement effects, collaborate with developers, and contribute to improving VFX workflows and pipelines
Collaborate closely with Art Direction to help evolve the game's VFX style and overall visual quality
Contribute to the ongoing visual evolution of the game across gameplay, UI/UX, and presentation polish
Create effects that improve gameplay readability, impact, pacing, responsiveness, and overall player immersion
Participate actively in collaborative reviews and iteration cycles to continuously raise the quality bar across the project

REQUIREMENTS

We are looking for a Senior VFX Artist with strong mobile gaming experience and a deep understanding of gameplay readability, impact, timing, and visual feedback systems. The ideal candidate combines artistic excellence, strong Unity implementation skills, production pragmatism, and a highly collaborative mindset. They should be comfortable working fast in a live production environment and thrive in small, ambitious teams with high ownership and direct impact.

You're a great fit if you have:

Strong experience creating and implementing real-time VFX directly inside Unity
Excellent understanding of animation fundamentals such as timing, spacing, readability, anticipation, and impact
Experience shipping or significantly contributing to mobile games
A portfolio showcasing polished gameplay VFX with strong visual clarity and game feel
Experience working collaboratively with developers, designers, and artists in fast-paced production environments
A proactive mindset with high ownership and strong attention to detail
Comfort receiving and giving feedback in highly iterative creative environments

NICE TO HAVE

Experience with Spine
3D skills in Blender or similar software
Knowledge of mesh-based or technical VFX workflows
Experience improving pipelines or exploring new VFX workflows inside Unity
Experience working on RPG, action, or hero-based games

Portfolio quality is critical for this role. We are specifically looking for candidates with strong gameplay VFX experience rather than purely cinematic or film-oriented VFX backgrounds.

Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.

CULTURE

At Homa, we prioritize talent, energy, and determination over traditional credentials. We're building a global community of brilliant, driven people who think boldly, act with pragmatism, move fast, and push boundaries. We believe true innovation comes from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and curiosity without limits. Our culture is grounded in four core values:

Humility: We recognise that we are always learning, we can always improve and grow - we stay grounded in a clear view of ourselves
Curiosity: We continuously seek the "why" behind the "what" - we explore with purpose and practicality
Focus: Our curiosity takes us deeper, not wider - we obsess over the details and let pragmatism guide our attention
Ambition: We strive for the best - we don't settle for "good enough," - we use common sense to reach higher

BENEFITS

Building great games starts with building a great place to work. Here's what you can expect:

Comprehensive Benefits: Depending on your location, you'll enjoy a range of perks such as insurance, meal vouchers, public transport, gym memberships, and more
Paris HQ Access: Enjoy a desk at our private office in a well-located WeWork building that will give you access to WeWork perks like rooftop view and designed coworking spaces
Coworking Access: You will have access to WeWork spaces throughout Europe, along with all their perks and professional office environments
Global Team: Collaborate in English with top-tier talent from 35+ countries, spanning Europe, the UK, the US, and more. Diversity fuels our creativity and innovation
Team Gatherings: We value time together beyond the screen. Join us for occasional team gatherings, off-site retreats (Workations as we name them) to connect, recharge, and celebrate
Performance Reviews: We're committed to your growth. Every six months, we reflect on your progress, recognize your achievements, and align on clear development goals
Equipment Support: From day one, we'll provide everything you need to do your best work, including a home office setup allowance if you're working remotely

WHERE WE HIRE

Our HQ in Paris is a vibrant hub of creativity, collaboration, and connection. From rooftop lunches and coffee chats to after-work apéros and community events, we've designed a space people genuinely enjoy - all within a cozy WeWork filled with good energy (and snacks).

We also have incredible team members across Europe - from Spain and Turkey to Germany, North Macedonia, Poland, the UK, and more. Whether you're working from a sunny WeWork in Barcelona or your home setup in Warsaw, you're fully part of our culture. To keep collaboration smooth, we primarily hire within European time zones (UTC to UTC+3). If you're based there - or planning to be - we'd love to hear from you!

Please note: this is one remote position open to multiple countries, not multiple openings.
