Senior 2D Artist at Playson - Remote Europe — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-Friendly for European-Based Nomads
Playson explicitly offers remote work as a standard option, and the flexible schedule policy suggests meaningful async-friendliness — a genuine plus for digital nomads. However, as a European iGaming company, expect some overlap with European business hours (CET/EEST) for team syncs, brainstorming sessions, and stakeholder feedback cycles. Full async independence is unlikely given the collaborative nature of the role.
Location Flexibility
The role is open across Europe, which means a wide range of digital nomad visa options are potentially viable:
- Portugal: D8 Digital Nomad Visa — relatively straightforward if you can show consistent income. Lisbon's monthly cost of living runs ~€1,500–2,200 for a comfortable lifestyle.
- Georgia (Remotely from Georgia): Visa-free for most Europeans for up to 1 year; Tbilisi costs ~€800–1,200/month.
- Spain (Barcelona/Valencia): Digital Nomad Visa available; expect €1,800–2,500/month in Barcelona.
Travel-Relevant Perks
Unlimited PTO (including bank holidays) is a standout perk for travelers — no cap on vacation days gives you flexibility to plan extended trips. Professional development reimbursement could cover tools useful for a mobile setup. No coworking allowance is specifically mentioned, so budget for that separately.
