About Acrylic Robotics

At Acrylic Robotics, we merge art and technology to explore the future of creative expression. Our painting robots transform digital designs into physical works of art, and we're pushing the limits of what's possible at the intersection of human creativity and robotic precision.

We're looking for a 
Digital & Fine Artist
 to join our Montreal studio — someone who's equally comfortable working on-screen and hands-on with real paint. You'll design artworks for our robots, refine their outputs with manual touchups, and help run the production systems that bring our robotic paintings to life.

What You'll Do

  • Create digital artworks
     for robotic painting — visually compelling designs optimized for our robot's brushstrokes.
  • Perform manual touchups
     on robot-produced paintings to add human finesse and artistic detail.
  • Collaborate with our engineering team
     to improve the usability and creative range of our digital painting system.
  • Research and experiment
     with popular art styles, adapting them for robotic execution.
  • Operate and help maintain our production system
    , ensuring smooth workflow and consistent artistic quality across our outputs.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong 
    fine art skills
    , including brushwork, colour mixing, and composition.
  • Proficiency in 
    Adobe Illustrator (especially the Brush tool)
     and 
    Krita
    , or openness to learning these tools.
  • A deep understanding of 
    colour theory, art trends, and contemporary visual culture
    .
  • Hands-on 
    studio experience
     — you're comfortable painting, handling materials, and maintaining a creative workspace.
  • Excellent 
    collaboration and communication skills
     — you'll work closely with both artists and engineers.
  • Curiosity and excitement about 
    art, robotics, and creative technology
    .

Why Join Us

  • You'll have real ownership — and the room to define a visual world from scratch
  • You'll be part of a small team working on a big vision, with fast feedback loops
  • You'll shape not just what we look like, but how we think, feel, and show up
  • You'll work on tech that doesn't just follow trends — it creates new categories
  • You'll be surrounded by weird, ambitious people who care deeply about art and beauty
  • We prioritize craft, curiosity, and building something meaningful together

Why You Might Not Love It Here

  • Priorities shift quickly — if you need a stable roadmap or fixed structure, this might not be the place
  • You'll be working in-person most days — we value the energy of shared space and build physical products
  • We expect self-management and high ownership — if you need lots of direction, this likely won't be the right fit
  • This is not a corporate creative role — you'll be context-switching often and shaping systems as you go
