OverviewAs Technical Artist at Lingokids, you own the tooling and standards that connect finished 2D art and animation to playable Unity builds.

You create scripts, exporters, and validation checks to cut manual work, ensure assets render correctly, and enable AI-assisted workflows with guardrails.

You collaborate across Art, Animation, Design, and Engineering to keep pipelines healthy and assets reusable across games and IP reskins.

This role combines hands-on technical work with enabling teams to move faster in a kid-focused, remote-friendly environment.
