About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Technical Artist to act as the ultimate bridge between visual creative direction and real-time technical execution.

Your mission is to push our projects to the absolute peak of visual excellence while ensuring our real-time assets remain flawlessly optimized for demanding hardware frameworks, including virtual reality ecosystems.

You are not just a content creator; you are a visual systems engineer. You will take raw character models and environment assets, construct custom high-performance shaders, script complex visual effects (VFX), and ruthlessly optimize vertex counts and draw calls. Every single frame matters.

What We Value &

- Expect

Visual Excellence without Performance Drag:

We value technical artists who can deliver stunning, cinematic atmospheres without tanking runtime framerates. Your custom shaders and effects must balance visual beauty with clean processing logic.

Aggressive Asset Optimization

Real-time rendering bottlenecks are your natural enemy. You will systematically audit polygon budgets, texture memory allocation, and layout workflows to eliminate rendering lag and memory leaks.

Pipeline Automation

You will construct custom tools, scripts, and automation mechanisms that accelerate the asset pipeline, allowing creators to move from creation to preview instantly.

Smart Render Bottleneck Resolution

You are responsible for maintaining a seamless visual experience. You will isolate and naturally resolve standard rendering issues, flickering artifacts, or real-time layout discrepancies under tight production timelines.

Pacing under Sprint Timelines





Digital media and game production move at a breakneck pace. You must be comfortable managing a reliable production cadence, updating models, and delivering fully optimized assets under aggressive deadlines.

Requirements

Proven Industry Experience

Demonstrated experience as a Technical Artist working within real-time rendering environments, runtime game engines, or quick-paced digital pipelines.

Shader Development &

- VFX Mastery:

Exceptional skill in authoring custom HLSL/GLSL shaders and constructing complex real-time visual effect systems.

Advanced Rendering Profiling

Absolute mastery of diagnostic tools to analyze draw calls, vertex bottlenecks, fill-rate issues, and memory budgets.

Scripting &

- Toolkit Building:

Proficiency in Python, C#, or pipeline-specific scripting languages to build custom pipeline expansions and data conduits.

How to Apply

Your Showreel &

- Breakdown:

Please send your CV and a link to your technical portfolio or showreel. Crucially, provide a detailed technical breakdown explaining exactly how you engineered your shaders, scripted your scripts, or achieved your optimization victories.

The Optimization Assessment

Shortlisted candidates will undergo a practical, time-boxed asset optimization and shader construction test to prove real-world problem-solving speed and asset management under engine constraints.

Chronological Verification

Before finalized onboarding, we will review your complete career timeline and contact past creative directors or tech leads to verify your collaborative reliability and technical execution.
