If you’re looking to make the best co-op games in the world, you’ve come to the right place. We're proud to have some of the best game makers and collaborators in the industry working with us. What's more, we're a fun bunch of game developers, who love to indulge in our passion for video games together. Our games are not for everyone. Are they for you?
We are now looking for a Senior Technical Artist
Being a Technical Artist means you’re the linking pin between tech and art, you speak both languages and you can ensure all artwork meets the technical specs in order for the artwork to be used in our game project.
Who you are:
- You have at least 5 years of experience within the industry as a technical artist
- You’re skilled in tools creation and have a knack for optimizing artistic workflows
- Ideally, you’ve shipped at least one AAA project and are familiar with the technical challenges involved
- You’ve got a strong grasp of procedural generation, scripting, and shading
- You communicate clearly and effectively in English, both in writing and verbally
- Strong proficiency in Python and HLSL
- Proficiency in 3D Modelling software like Maya or Blender
- If you happen to know C++ and/or Houdini, that would be an added bonus but certainly not mandatory!
What you'll do
As a Technical Artist, you will be the crucial bridge between tech and art, ensuring all artwork meets technical specifications and is ready for use in our projects. Specifically, you will:
- Monitor, flag, and communicate concerns between artistic goals and technical limitations within the development pipeline;
- Collaborate closely with content creators (level designers, artists, audio teams) to solve technical problems;
- Develop and maintain tools that improve the efficiency of the art team;
- Provide technical feedback and support to artists;
- Keep our development setup at the cutting edge by staying on top of industry trends.
