Senior Technical Artist

DESCRIPTION

As our Senior Technical Artist at BULKHEAD, you will have proficient knowledge with the engine. You will be working closely with others within your team to offer solutions to art problems and be able to prototype them. 

You will have the opportunity to use your creativity and technical skills to contribute to the creation of our game, creating a unique game experience and communicating the vision through the team. 

You will work closely with the Art Team to build solutions, tools and shaders, and interface with other   departments and the art direction team to help realise the development needs. You will offer creative solutions from end to end, from early design work, through to prototype and final implementation.

You will be excellent in cross discipline collaboration and use your expertise to mentor and develop the skills of Junior members on a day-to-day basis. You will be comfortable in explaining your workload and have the ability to accept candid feedback from your Lead and the Art Director.

This is an in-studio role and this is non-negotiable however; we can offer bespoke relocation packages.

If you have the skills and passion we are looking for and want to be part of something special, we want to hear from you!
