We're looking for highly experienced, versatile and hardworking Technical Artists to solve problems, improve our tools and pipelines, and apply ingenuity to our award-winning games! Applicants must demonstrate a specialized capability as well as general versatility in all aspects of a CG pipeline. We look for individuals who proactively solve issues and have the flexibility and foresight to research, design and implement cutting-edge tools before artists require them. Technical Artists should be ready to jump into everyday production and force-multiply our art and technology capabilities.
Valve is an entertainment and technology company driven to design and deliver extraordinary entertainment experiences to customers.

Technical artists at Valve contribute in a wide variety of ways: We facilitate cross-disciplinary communication between departments and help articulate goals across different projects at the studio. We research, define, build, and maintain tools, and much more. We also recruit others like you.
