You are passionate about writing tools, developing technical solutions and helping to create the best possible games. You are open to new ideas and constantly strive to advance your work to the highest level by being proactive and self-motivated. As a Technical Artist, you are inspired by innovative technology and clever solutions. You are constantly on the lookout for ways to enhance the visual quality, the tech behind it or the workflow to achieve it. Excellent communication skills are essential for knowledge-sharing with your team and your stakeholders. You might have a combination of classical or 3D art training with good technical knowledge and a focus on games. You are interested in engine development and want to work on improving workflows and pipelines for multiple teams. 

Besides the above we’re looking for someone aligned with our core values and who has some of the following skills and experience:  

  • Proficiency in Python programming, including experience with larger code bases and packaging 
  • Experience with tool development for DCCs for modelling, procedural content creation and/or texture creation. (We utilize Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Blender, 3Ds Max, Maya, Motionbuilder, and Photoshop) 
  • Knowledge of art asset optimization techniques 
  • Solid game engine knowledge and experience (proprietary and/or Unreal or Unity) 

What We Might Discuss During the Interview 

  • Your thoughts on setting up an asset pipeline (generic or for a specific asset type) 
  • Distributing tools to artists and animators in production 
  • Resolving conflicting needs of different productions using the same tools 
  • Experience developing with Python, including type hints, packaging, data structures 
  • Opinions on USD and other open standards for asset pipelines 
  • Usage of source control, CICD and storage systems (such as GitHub/GitLab, Perforce, Artifactory, etc.)
