At Piccolo Studio we are hiring wizards to help us build our new IP. We are an idea-first company and Technical Artists are key into making them real, be it through complex shader work, the development of tools or advanced visual tricks.

You’re that kind of person that suddenly needs to recreate the look of a fluid fog system? You love to analyze and replicate how a character leaves a realistic trail in the snow? How to make trees grow in a spectacular way? At Piccolo you’ll spend your time creating magic.

We look for people with that special something and some degree of experience. If you want to move to Barcelona to work at our offices, look no further and send us your portfolio! Exceptional profiles may be eligible for remote work.
