Additionally, we are not working with any external recruiters or agencies at this time. Our website has an up to date roster of all current employees. If anyone reaches out to you and they are not listed on our website, they are not part of our team.

We are looking for a motivated, passionate, and skilled VFX Artist to join our growing team. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the visual effects of our first IP - everything from concept to creation to implementation.

What You'll Do:

Create beautiful, stylized and performant visual effects for real-time gameplay.
Create VFX for both gameplay and immersive environments.
Collaborate directly with other artists, designers and engineers to solve VFX needs.
Work closely with the Art Director and other VFX artists to help keep quality and style consistent across all environments.
Write clear, concise documentation and provide training to ensure the team understands and can effectively use any VFX pipeline and tool created.

Ideally You'll Have:

3+ years of game development experience with at least one shipped title in a VFX role
Proficiency in Maya or other 3D package
Proficiency in Unreal Engine and the capacity to contribute to the development of a VFX pipeline
Experience with both stylized and realistic VFX work. Our project straddles that line, and experience with both is usually the best fit for our art direction
Strong sense of using VFX to bring environments to life

What You’ll Get:

The base pay for this role is:

VFX Artist: $100,000 to $125,000 USD per year
Senior VFX Artist: $125,000 to $175,000 per year
Principal VFX Artist: $175,000 to $200,000 per year;

(or equivalent in your local currency). We pay fairly across our global team regardless of your location but it will differ based on factors such as experience, qualifications etc.

In addition to the base pay, we also offer the following:

Profit sharing and company equity to all employees, regardless of location
Industry leading medical, dental, and vision plans
Employer sponsored basic life insurance & AD&D
401k retirement program
Flexible work hours
Flexible PTO and sick time
Paid parental leave

Some benefits listed may vary depending on your employee status and location, such as the 401k plan for employees in the United States.

Where You'll Work:

This position is for US and Canadian residents. We have an office in California if you like to come to an office, but most employees work from home across different US time zones and that's totally fine.

Misc:

A portfolio showcasing your work is required with your application. Additionally, we may ask you to take a paid test as part of the interview process.
