Being a proactive, self-starter that can independently make progress and implement high-level direction

Researching, documenting and sharing relevant techniques, guides or inspiration material for other artists to learn from. Help resolve technical challenges across our tools and engine pipeline to unblock and accelerate production. Collaborate with Tech Art and help develop new tools to address unique project challenges


You’re awesome because you have…

An inspiring portfolio that shows your expert eye for composition and storytelling through world-building, set dressing, and consistently high-quality art assets

Clarity in communication and demonstrates a problem-solving attitude

A proven track record to thrive in an ambitious environment and guide your team through open-ended problems

Creative and original ideas towards all aspects of game production and development that you share with the team

Excellent understanding of Physically Based Rendering systems and techniques

Overall strong understanding and passion for game art with the ability to discuss modern trends, identify future improvements to quality, workflows, tools and/or pipelines

Collaborate with the Design team to build map layouts and establish standardized metrics, ensuring an optimal balance between aesthetics and functionality that delivers outstanding gameplay.


Bonus points for…

Experience working with Photogrammetry-based asset workflows

Understanding of physically based lighting concepts and a proven skillset of showcasing your work in a professional, presentable manner

Enjoying of a wide variety of video game genres and titles
