  • Create high-quality light rigs for realistic and cinematic content

  • Collaborate with the Virtual Production team to benchmark, optimise and enhance performance in Unreal scenes and profile hardware (GPU, CPU, Network)

  • Create and maintain clear and comprehensive documentation of workflows, processes and tools

  • Develop in-engine tools to empower artists and increase workflow efficiency

  • Help to create, maintain and document the Unreal pipeline

Job requirements

What we’re looking for:

  • Demonstrable technical knowledge and strong creative and artistic skills

  • Hands-on experience with look development, lighting, and rendering

  • Complete understanding of Unreal Engine

  • Experience developing with Blueprints
