Junior 2D Game Artist

About the Company:
Founded in 2017 by visionary directors Anthony and Joe Russo, AGBO is an artist-led, Academy Award–winning independent studio redefining global storytelling across film, television, and gaming. With 15 #1 openings and more than $7 billion at the box office, its hits include Marvel’s highest-grossing film Avengers: Endgame, the multi-Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Netflix blockbusters The Gray Man and Extraction. AGBO’s Citadel universe has become a worldwide Prime Video sensation, while recent projects in post-production, include The Bluff (Amazon MGM) and The Whisper Man (Netflix). Upcoming releases include Citadel Season 2 and Marvel Studios’ epic Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), both directed by the Russo Brothers and produced by AGBO.

In 2023, AGBO welcomed Donald Mustard—former Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games and co-creator of Fortnite—as a partner. Mustard brings a bold creative vision to AGBO: to expand what storytelling can be through immersive, interconnected worlds that span across media. We’re building the future of storytelling—and we’re looking for bold, creative minds to help shape it. If you’re ready to help define what comes next, we’d love to meet you.
Position Summary:
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.

Key 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.

Qualifications & Skills:

• 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.

Additional Information:

• This is a temporary position with the potential for extension based on project needs.
• Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for visa sponsorship.
• A portfolio showcasing relevant work is required for consideration.
