About Tamatem Games

Tamatem Games is the leading mobile games publisher in the MENA region. We localize and operate international mobile games for Arabic-speaking audiences across SLG, MMORPG, Card, and Casual genres, alongside developing our own original titles. We're two-time PGC Dubai Best Publisher (2024, 2025) and Best Arabic Localization winner.

About the Role

We're looking for a versatile game artist who thrives across multiple games and visual surfaces. In this role, you'll produce in-game art, UI/UX, and Arabic localization assets across our portfolio, contribute to in-game promotional moments, and support our brand design work for company-level initiatives.

This is a hands-on, multi-disciplinary role for someone with strong graphic design instincts in addition to game art craft—someone who can move confidently between a UI screen, a localized event banner, an in-game promotion asset, and a polished brand deck without losing quality on any of them.

You'll work closely with fellow game artists, marketing artists, and game developers.

What You'll Do

Game Art & UI/UX

• Produce in-game assets across multiple titles: UI screens, menus, flows, icons, illustrations, event art, splash screens, and in-game social assets.
• Adapt to diverse visual languages - stylized casual, anime MMORPG, medieval SLG, and traditional card-game aesthetics.
• Validate work against tech budgets (file size, RTL integrity, accessibility, in-engine performance) and hand off cleanly.
• Contribute to mood boards, references, and visual exploration during pre-production for new features.

Localization Art

• Lead Arabic adaptation passes: RTL layouts, Arabic typography, culturally adapted assets, text-in-image localization.
• Maintain dialect and cultural-fit quality across the titles you support.

In-Game Promotion

• Produce in-game promotional art for LiveOps events, seasonal moments (Ramadan, Eid, National Day), and feature launches.
• Coordinate with marketing artists for asset reuse and visual consistency between in-game promos and marketing creatives.

Brand Design Support

• Partner with the brand designer on work such as pitch decks, event identity, social-media brand assets, employer branding, and internal communications visuals.
• Apply brand guidelines consistently across all touchpoints.
• Treat brand work with the same craft bar as game art.

Quality & Collaboration

• Hold the line on visual quality, style consistency, and craft polish across everything you ship.
• Mentor junior team members on technique, file hygiene, and pipeline discipline.
• Actively contribute to creative reviews and feature discussions.

What You'll Need

• 3-5 years of experience in visual design, with at least 2 years in mobile gaming or a closely adjacent industry.
• Strong graphic design foundation - typography, layout, hierarchy, composition - in addition to game art skills.
• Mastery of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma; simple After Effects fluency for UI motion and light brand motion.
• Solid understanding of UI/UX principles: screen layouts, wireframing, component libraries, interaction states, and developer handoff.
• Strong sense of color theory, visual storytelling, and the discipline to adapt across diverse art styles (stylized, semi-realistic, anime, traditional, corporate-brand).
• Demonstrated experience integrating AI-generated art tools into your workflow to ship faster and explore more creatively. AI fluency is required, not optional.
• Working knowledge of Arabic typography and RTL design principles.
• Detail-oriented, self-directed, and calm under multi-track delivery pressure.

Bonus Points

• Basic 3D fluency with Blender or Maya for prop work or asset blockouts.
• Animation experience with Spine (2D) or After Effects for UI and promo motion.
• Prior experience producing pitch decks, event identity, or employer-branding assets.
• Familiarity with mobile game LiveOps cadence and seasonal calendars.
• Exposure to MENA/Saudi audiences or cultural-adaptation work.

Why Join Tamatem

• Work on a diverse portfolio of mobile games reaching millions of players across MENA.
• Join a growing creative department where craft, AI fluency, and cross-functional impact are recognized and rewarded.
• Be part of an award-winning team shaping the future of Arabic mobile gaming.
