2- Senior Technical Artist

About the Role

You'll own the bridge between our art vision and what actually ships in Unity. Working closely with our Art Director, you'll define how stylized realism translates into performant, production-ready assets, building the master PBR shaders that set our visual tone, the optimization standards that keep us fast on mobile, and the automated pipeline checks that catch heavy, unoptimized assets before they break the engine.

You'll be the person who turns ambitious visual targets into something that actually runs on a phone , without losing the stylized realism that makes our game unique.

You will

- Build and maintain master PBR materials and shaders that define our in-engine visual language.

- Set up automated pipeline checks that catch unoptimized or oversized assets before they hit the engine.

- Own poly budgets, LOD strategy, and texture packing — balancing performance with our stylized realism look.

- Partner directly with our Art Director and 3D/concept artists to keep visual ambition and technical reality aligned.

- Help define best practices as the art team scales, so quality holds as headcount grows.

## You're a strong fit if you have

- Proven experience as a Technical Artist in game development, ideally mobile.

- Looking for 5+ years in experience in your craft.

- Deep knowledge of shader authoring (Shader Graph/HLSL), PBR workflows, and Unity rendering pipelines.

- Experience setting poly/texture/performance budgets for stylized 3D art.

- A track record of building tools or checks that prevent problems before they ship, not just fixing them after.

- Experience with automation/validation tooling in Unity.
