Tech Art - Graphics Programming

Would you like to join a team of dedicated technical and vfx artists who are pushing the boundaries for what can be done in VR? Are you interested in working on massive, genre-defining IPs as well as in-house independent titles? Then this new position here at SpookiCG could be exactly what you’ve been on the hunt for!

To help us support our long-term partner Flat2VR (Trombone Champ: unflattened, Roboquest VR, Out of Sight VR) on epic unannounced projects, we’re looking for a technical artist or graphics engineer/programmer skilled with Unreal Engine’s render pipeline.

The ideal candidate would have :

  • Proven experience with at least Unreal Engine in graphical pipeline related tasks such as advanced post processes, modifying parts of the pipeline in a custom engine,…

  • Experience in robust game optimization

  • Previous work in VR, console or mobile is a big plus

  • Good written and spoken English

  • Good communication skills, always being respectful of others and their work.

  • Solid C++ foundations

  • Readiness to be mentored, open to feedback and criticism

  • Experience with graphics profiling tools, ie RenderDoc.

  • Some affinity with technical vfx creation tools such as Houdini, Embergen, 3D modeling softwares and other art authoring programs is a plus.

    Remember there is no need to fill every point, this is for an ideal candidate only, we will review each submission.

If you know all there is to know about mobile optimization and VR, great, if not, no problem. What we’re really looking for is an individual with strong working knowledge of Unreal Engine 4 and/or 5 and graphics programming. In exchange, SpookiCG and its partners are a safe space to learn, grow, communicate and achieve your goals.

Responsibilities:

We are a team of experienced technical artists with a solid working knowledge in game optimization, VFX, shaders,… and we’re counting on you to round up our skill-set with your math skills and cool low level optimization wizardry! Here are a some responsibilities we would love some help with:

  • GPU profiling and suggesting optimizations

  • Implementing some of those optimizations yourself, especially when it comes to customizing the engine or lower level tasks

  • communicating ways to improve our processes with designers and artists in a respectful and digestible manner

  • aid in the creation of tools to automate artists’ work or edit assets

  • help other technical artists author tricky shaders

We work on very varied projects in a caring, crunch-free setting. We are fully remote with occasional & optional meet-ups. Work hours and style can be accommodated to your needs along the central European to US time-zones.

We strongly encourage people of marginalized gender & sexual identities, backgrounds, physical limitations and neuro-divergences to apply.
