  • 5+ years of experience as a Lighting Artist in the video games industry on AAA titles or relevant film experience.

  • You have an artistic eye and ability to interpret reference and concept art.

  • You have a good understanding of lighting fundamentals, color theory, materials, cinematography and photography and PBR as it relates to game development.

  • You know how to guide the player’s eye and evoke different emotions through the use of lighting and color.

  • Solid experience lighting for legibility in games, both for storytelling as well as gameplay.

  • Experience with node-based logic such as UE blueprints, as well as setting up scripted lighting events, in-game triggers, etc.

  • Comfortable and excited about learning new tech and tools, such as EA’s Frostbite Editor.

  • You understand the technical aspects of a real-time rendering engine, and experience working within performance constraints.

  • Very strong organizational skills and ability to time manage.

  • Experience mentoring others, and a desire to help everyone on the team, when opportunities arise…We are looking for a real team player!

  • A strong understanding of what is visually most important in any given situation, as well as the important of subtlety in lighting.
