Requirements

- At least one shipped game on PC/Console, preferably more than just one.
- Advanced knowledge of any DCC package (e.g. Maya, Blender, Houdini)
- This is a full-time, on-site role, requiring your presence in the office to support collaboration and creativity.
Nice to Have
- Houdini/Substance/Maya experience..
- Scripting experience
- Skills in other (traditional) arts, e.g. drawing
What We Offer
- An international team of over 500 employees spread across 7 studios around the world, each of which have their own unique qualities, and maintain a small-studio feel
- An open, collaborative environment where ideas are welcome and encouraged
- A managerial team consisting of highly experienced game developers at the top of their fields
