What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of technical experience in the World Building field (e.g. Senior Technical Artist or equivalent) working with exceptional engineering talent
  • Subject matter expertise in large open world production, landscape creation workflows, 3D modeling, geometry scripting, procedural content generation for games and the ability to teach those workflows to others
  • Expertise with Houdini, World Machine, Gaea, Maya, 3Ds Max, Blender and with Unreal, Unity or any proprietary game engine is a plus
  • Someone that enjoys working on engine, tools and features development up to final productization

  • Excellent communication, and relationship-building skills
  • Comfortable with change, managing complex tasks and adaptable to project scope
