Proxima Fusion is Europe’s fastest-growing fusion company and the continent’s best-funded fusion player, as well as the first
spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP). Backed by over €650M and powered by a growing team across Munich,
Zurich, and Oxford, we are developing the hardware and infrastructure needed to deliver the world’s first commercial stellarator
fusion power plant.
Our concept advances the most mature fusion technology out there, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, through two next-generation
machines: Alpha and Stellaris. Our work combines stellarator optimization, advanced computation, machine learning, and
high-temperature superconducting magnets to unlock higher-performance designs that were previously out of reach.
Turning these designs into a functioning fusion power plant requires excellence and ownership across every discipline, from
physics and engineering to software, manufacturing, law, and business functions.

In a fusion reactor, fusion-born alpha particles play a central role in plasma self-heating and overall reactor performance. Their
confinement, transport, and interaction with collective plasma instabilities directly determine whether a burning plasma can
remain stable, efficient, and economically viable. At reactor scale, energetic particle driven Alfvénic activity can enhance fast
ion losses, exacerbating plasma loads on the first wall and other in-vessel components. As such, this interaction is critical to
include in the design of reactor relevant magnetic configurations and their corresponding operational scenario.
As an Burning Plasma Physicist at Proxima, you will lead efforts to understand, model, and optimize energetic particle behavior in
reactor-scale stellarator plasmas. Your work will focus on fast-ion confinement, energetic particle transport, and bulk plasma
interactions mediated through Alfvénic activity. You will develop and apply advanced numerical tools to assess alpha particle
confinement, characterize instability-driven transport, and guide stellarator optimization toward robust burning plasma operation.
This role offers a rare opportunity to shape the physics foundations of a commercial stellarator power plant. Your work will
directly influence plasma performance, reactor operating limits, and the ability of future devices to achieve reliable
steady-state fusion power. By connecting first-principles plasma physics to reactor design decisions, you will help define the
path toward practical burning plasma operation in optimized stellarators.

The Clash Royale team moves fast. A lot of art ships every season: characters, skins, UI, campaigns. Making sure it all lands on time, at quality, without burning anyone out, is no small thing. We're looking for an Art Lead to be the person who makes that machine hum. Not someone standing at the side tracking spreadsheets, but someone in the middle of it, working shoulder to shoulder with artists, designers, and external studios to keep production moving and continuously finding ways to do it better. The role spans Helsinki and Shanghai, which means good communication isn't just nice to have, it's the job. If you're the kind of person who gets satisfaction from a well-run pipeline as much as from a beautiful piece of art landing in-game, you'll feel right at home here. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING * Own the art production pipeline end to end, from planning and scheduling through to final delivery, making sure the team always knows what's coming and when. * Work closely with artists, game designers, and producers across Helsinki and Shanghai to keep art flowing smoothly across every update and season. * Manage relationships with external art studios and contractors, giving clear direction, maintaining quality, and building partnerships that scale. * Spot bottlenecks before they become problems and drive practical improvements to how the team works, without overcomplicating things. * Keep a close eye on quality, cost, and timelines, knowing when to push and when to protect the team. * Make sure everyone who needs to know what's happening actually knows, internally and externally. WHAT YOU HAVE * Experience in art production, ideally in the mobile game industry or another fast-paced live content environment. * A solid understanding of game art and what it takes to produce it well, from concept through implementation. * Strong project management skills and a natural ability to keep multiple things moving at once without losing sight of the details. * Experience working with and directing external studios or contractors. * Clear, confident communication, especially across time zones and between disciplines that don't always speak the same language. * Comfort in a high-trust, low-process environment where you own outcomes rather than waiting to be told what to do. * Strong art taste and visual judgment to serve as the go-to art person across workstreams — able to give meaningful creative feedback to external partners and confidently hold the quality bar, not just logistical direction. WOULD BE NICE IF YOU ALSO HAVE * Familiarity with the Clash Royale art style and what makes it distinct. * Experience managing production across multiple locations or studios simultaneously. * A background that bridges art and production, whether you started as an artist or came up through production with a strong visual eye. * Familiarity with the Chinese creative industry and art outsourcing landscape — whether through working with Chinese art studios, local production experience, or Mandarin language skills that make collaboration with local partners easier. ––– That's it about the role!
