About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

**Role Overview**
You are accountable for the pipeline that brings external data into our game cleanly and efficiently, and to make sure the game looks its best where that matters most whilst staying within technical constraints.
You are a proactive hands-on tech artist who picks up new technology quickly and works ahead of problems rather than reacting to them to ensure technical art issues get caught early. You will work closely with the team in assisting with the technical implementation and management of in-house and outsourced assets.
**Key Responsibilities**
1 - Asset Pipelines
You design and build the pipeline that takes an external data source and places it into the game in the most efficient way possible. As the amount of updates in the game grows, you keep the pipeline steady and clear of any snags that slow down the time from source to player.
2 - Real-Time Content, Shaders, and Performance
You help bring the game to the desired visual standard whilst remaining within budget and constraints. You build shaders and materials, support VFX, rigging and animation, profile and optimise assets and scenes for performance and minimal load times.
3 - Working with The Team and Setting Standards
You are the person the team comes to with technical art questions. You tell them what is realistic, flag risks early, and work closely with the whole team, and our external partners so that ambition and what the engine can actually do stay in step.
