You love tackling new and interesting technical challenges head-on. You are bursting with ideas to push the boundaries of what is possible on current and next-generation hardware.

    •  Deepen your main interest area in the vast field of Technical Art or find a new focus point as part of the development process.
    • Ensure the delivery of high-quality, optimized art (environments, characters, VFX, etc.) by working within established constraints such as memory budgets and framerate targets on different platforms.
    • Uphold and share company values.

Your Skillset

    • A good level of technical knowledge and understanding of game-ready asset creation pipelines for games combined with creative and visual instincts is important.
    • Experience working with Unreal Engine (Unreal Engine 5 is a plus) and at least some of its subsystems like:
    • • Materials
    • • Blueprints
    • • Editor scripting & extensions
    • • Niagara
    • • Animation
    • • Chaos
    • • PCG
    • Eagerness to explore new workflows and work with next-gen technologies.  
    • Affinity for systematic problem solving.
    • Knowledge of English and good written and spoken communication skills.
    • A passion for gaming, art and technology. 

    • Bonus skills
    • Experience working in one or more DCC packages such as 3dsMax, Maya, zBrush, Blender, Substance.
    • Houdini experience, e.g. as part of a game production pipeline or for simulation/VFX.
    • Experience developing for modern consoles.
    • Experience with Substance Designer to create realistic PBR materials.
    • Scripting experience in Python or comparable scripting languages.
    • Technical background with hands-on experience in programming, preferably in C++.
    • Academic degree or work experience in art, architecture, interior design or industrial design.
    • Experience with other game engines such as Unity, CryEngine, Frostbite, or Snowdrop.
    • A good eye for composition and cinematography.

    • Please supply us with a link to a portfolio which demonstrates your level of expertise in technical art!
