  • Work with a team and own features from concept to ship

  • Experience with RVT and related methods to sample it across the game
  • Experience authoring lighting systems using Day Sequencer, Sky Atmosphere, and volumetric clouds
  • Ability to populate landscapes with foliage dynamically with PCG or equivalent in editor tech
  • A strong portfolio showcasing executed landscape biomes, foliage, and atmospherics—gameplay assets are a plus
  • Experience managing/supervising a team of technical artists
  • Deep expertise in Unreal Engine 5
  • Ability to work closely with lighting and art directors to drive visuals throughout the game
  • Experience shipping the same project simultaneously on PC, console, and mobile platforms
