Technical Artist (Unreal Engine)

1.

Were looking for a Technical Artist who can bridge the gap between creative and technical teams in Unreal Engine 5. This role blends art pipeline work, material/shader development, and direct collaboration with developers in both Blueprints and C++. You'll ensure that assets are visually polished, efficiently integrated, and technically sound within the game.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain Unreal Engine materials and shaders for environments, props, and gameplay elements.
• Work directly with the development team to create and extend Blueprint and C++ gameplay systems.
• Assist with asset integration, ensuring assets meet both visual and technical requirements.
• Optimize assets, materials, and rendering for performance without sacrificing quality.
• Collaborate with artists to troubleshoot asset or material issues and streamline workflows.
• Develop art-related tools in Blueprints or C++ to improve pipeline efficiency.
• Support the creation and implementation of VFX using Niagara when required.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong understanding of Unreal Engine 5 materials, shaders, and rendering systems.
• Experience with Blueprint scripting and C++ in Unreal Engine.
• Proficiency with PBR workflows, texture creation, and asset optimization.
• Good understanding of asset integration pipelines for real-time environments.
• Ability to profile and optimize performance in Unreal.
• Strong communication skills for cross-discipline collaboration.

Nice to Have

• Niagara VFX creation and integration skills.
• Knowledge of procedural content tools (Houdini, Unreal PCG).
• Familiarity with lighting workflows and post-processing in Unreal.

Were seeking a skilled 3D Environment Artist with strong modeling fundamentals to create high-quality buildings, props, and environmental assets for our Unreal Engine projects. The ideal candidate will have a solid grasp of real-world structure design, efficient modeling workflows, and an eye for detail. In addition, they should have practical experience with Unreal Engine materials and Niagara to bring environments to life.

Key Responsibilities:

• Model buildings, props, and environmental objects with clean topology and optimal polycount.
• Create and optimize PBR textures and materials for real-time rendering in Unreal Engine.
• Implement and tweak Unreal Engine materials to achieve the desired visual fidelity.
• Set up and work with Niagara VFX for environmental effects (dust, smoke, ambient particles, etc.).
• Collaborate with the art and design team to ensure visual consistency and performance optimization.
• Work within established pipelines and maintain high-quality asset standards.
• Optimize assets for performance without sacrificing quality.
• Required Skills & Experience
• Strong modeling fundamentals proficiency in creating hard-surface and modular environment assets.
• Proficiency in 3D modeling software (Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, or similar).
• Solid understanding of PBR workflow and texture creation tools (Substance Painter/Designer, Photoshop).
• Unreal Engine experience particularly with materials, shaders, and Niagara particle systems.
• Understanding of UV mapping, baking, and LOD creation for real-time assets.
• Good sense of scale, proportion, and architectural detail.
• Ability to troubleshoot and optimize for performance in large environments.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with procedural generation tools (Houdini, Unreal PCG).
• Knowledge of lighting and post-processing in Unreal Engine.
• Familiarity with world-building for games or simulations.
• Basic understanding of blueprints for asset integration.
