As we move on to new projects, the studio that brought you Baldur’s Gate 3 & Divinity: Original Sin 2 is looking for a VFX Artist to join the team and help us in crafting the high caliber games our fans have come to expect.

The VFX team's mission is to craft impressive spells that feel magical, believable, and understandable: spells that tell a story and suspend disbelief.

  • Experience creating custom shaders using node-based tools or scripting (e.g. HLSL)
  • Occasional contributions to cinematic VFX depending on project demands..

Requirements

  • Strong portfolio showing complex real-time VFX with a preference for "Magical VFX", demonstrating a solid understanding of color, composition and timing. Portfolio should include a variety of styles and types of VFX.
  • 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
  • Sharing hobbies and passions with like-minded colleagues
  • Inclusive environment with many activities organized by the studios or the employees
