You will become a part of a small team of around 9 members, where you will help with shader implementation and anticipating issues with performance. As well as particles, lighting, colour grading, shadows, and additional post-processing.

  • Set up and troubleshoot character rigs, skinning, and animation pipelines
  • Establish and enforce technical art standards, naming conventions, LODs, texture budgets, poly counts
  • Profile and optimize art assets for performance (draw calls, memory, shader complexity)
  • Collaborate closely with engineers on engine-side rendering features and with artists on workflow pain points
  • Document pipelines and tools

Candidate Must have Experience with:

  • Unity development
  • C# and HLSL (high level shading language) and Shader graph
  • ToonBoom or other 2d animation software
  • Switch and Mobile port optimization
