Epic is looking for a Senior Technical Artist to join the Quixel team. In this role, you'll be responsible for collaborating with a wide range of artists, engineers, and other developers to develop large-scale, procedural, real-time worlds to a high visual quality. This role requires a solid understanding of general real-time world-building, from an artistic and technical perspective, where the primary objective will be to ensure our large, open worlds are performant and well optimised.

  2. Drive performance and visual fidelity within these worlds from start to finish
  3. Have a high level of ownership and autonomy in the development and optimization of worlds
  4. Collaborate with various supporting teams, providing guidance and feedback
  5. Define content creation standards and guide art teams to ensure multi-platform performance
What we're looking for
  1. A solid understanding of AAA asset creation techniques
  2. Experience implementing advanced materials
  3. Experience with large-scale world-building
  4. Experience with optimizing all of the above
  5. Experience with Node-based visual scripting (Blueprint, PCG, Materials)
  6. Has shipped at least one game with Unreal Engine
  7. Minimum 5 years AAA experience

This role is open to multiple locations in Europe.
