About the job

Summary_{By Outscal}

Experienced Technical Art Director needed for Blight: Survival. Lead art production, define technical constraints, and ensure visual quality. Strong Unreal Engine, Maya, Substance, and Python skills required.

Are you ready to dive into the world of cutting-edge video game development? Headquartered in Montreal, Behaviour Interactive is at the forefront of the gaming industry, crafting unforgettable experiences across PC, console, and mobile platforms. We’re a dynamic, independent studio of over 1200 passionate employees, with studios in Toronto (Behaviour Toronto), Seattle (Midwinter Entertainment), Rotterdam (Behaviour Rotterdam) and in the UK (Behaviour UK–North & South). Our day to day revolved around two core business focuses: Services and Original Games. Our Services team collaborates with gaming and entertainment giants like Disney, Sony, Activision, and Nintendo, delivering exceptional work-for-hire development and pioneering immersive location-based entertainment (LBE). Meanwhile, our Original Games unit pushes our creative limits, with our signature IPs, including the iconic Dead by Daylight. Join us and be a part of the future of interactive entertainment!

At Behaviour Interactive, we believe in giving everyone a fair shot. We embrace a diverse and creative environment where everyone is celebrated. We value folks of all ages, sex, ethnicity, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, civil status, disability, or any other protected characteristics as per applicable law.

Behaviour Interactive is partnering with Haenir Studio to develop and publish their hotly anticipated debut IP, Blight: Survival. The game takes place in the no man’s land between two desperate kingdoms locked in a ceaseless war. Within this realm of death and decay, a new strain of Blight has erupted from the remains of the fallen. Fed and strengthened by the blood that’s been spilled, it rapidly spreads – turning man into monster.

The Technical Art Director manages and oversees the art production process. You will work constantly with the Artistic Director, the lead artist, the artists, and the other directors on the project. Your expertise and advice will guide the decisions that will drive visual quality in our games.

You will be responsible for providing a motivating technical environment to your artists, adjusting the production process to achieve quality targets, and sharing and encouraging best practices within your business unit.

In this role, you will :

Understand a project art direction and oversee its development within the current production process ;
Define the technical constraints of art production in the project by automating tasks and improve processes to simplify production ;
Suggest and guide the development of best practices, solutions, and tools ;
Promote the reuse of resources, know-how, and tools ;
Do a technological survey and constantly push the edge of technology ;
Foster good communicationwith the creative and technical teams by assessing the impact of rendering methods on performance ;
Help assess costs associated with art production.

What we're looking for :

12 years of experience in 3D modeling, texturing, lightning and special effects for video games, at least 5 in technical positions ;
Knowledge of Python (CG and HLSL an asset) and advanced experience with Maya and Substance (Blender an asset) ;
Strong mandotory production experience with Unreal including Blueprints ;
Understanding of the rendering process in different platforms and strong ability to manage priorities ;
You are comfortable communicating and drafting documents in French and English (the vast majority of contracts are in English).

Behaviour Interactive s'associe à Haenir Studio pour développer et publier leur premier jeu très attendu, Blight : Survival. Le jeu se déroule dans le no man's land entre deux royaumes désespérés enfermés dans une guerre incessante. Dans ce royaume de mort et de décomposition, une nouvelle souche de Blight a surgi des restes de ceux qui sont tombés au combat. Nourrie et renforcée par le sang versé, elle se propage rapidement, transformant l'homme en monstre. 

Le·la Directeur·rice Technique Artistique est celui·celle qui gère et dirige les processus de production artistique. Dans ce poste, vous collaborerez constamment avec la direction artistique, le·la chef·fe artiste, les autres directeur·rice·s du projet ainsi que les artistes. Votre expertise et vos conseils guideront les décisions qui permettront d’obtenir la qualité visuelle requise par le jeu.

Vous aurez la responsabilité d’offrir aux artistes un encadrement technique motivant, d’ajuster le processus de production pour atteindre les cibles de qualité, de partager et encourager les meilleures pratiques au sein de votre division d’affaires.
