Expert Technical Artist

At CD PROJEKT RED, we’ve built our legacy on rich worlds and storytelling from the epic tales of The Witcher to the dystopian future of Cyberpunk 2077. Now, we’re setting out on the next journey: to create a completely new IP which is Project Hadar. It is shaped by the same passion, quality, and vision that define everything we do.

Project Hadar is still in its early days. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that’s building a universe from the ground up where your ideas, experience, and creativity can directly shape the project’s vision, identity, and direction.

We’re looking for an Expert Technical Artist with a focus on Art and Visuals to join our team working on Project Hadar. This is an opportunity to bring attention to detail and a passion for developing high-quality, accessible visuals that meet our ambitious artistic and technological goals.
