[Hiring] Technical Artist @Pixaera

Role Description

We are looking for a Technical Artist who is a true 3D generalist and lives in Unreal. You will be responsible for:

• Producing production-ready 3D assets end to end: modelling, UVs, texturing and look development, built from real reference and correct, safety-critical detail.
• Owning the art-to-engine pipeline in Unreal Engine 5: materials and shaders, lighting, world building, and the performance work that keeps modules smooth across VR, web and video builds.
• Building the shaders, tools and automations that make every future module faster to produce, and making the generative pipeline part of your default way of working.
• Rigging and animating characters, machinery and environment beats where the moment calls for it (animation is a strong plus rather than a gate).
• Directing generative 3D, image and video tools, then bringing the output up to a production bar by hand.
• Holding the visual quality bar across modules and working shoulder to shoulder with level designers, engineers and instructional designers, from brief to shipped.

Qualifications

• Deep, hands-on Unreal Engine skills (UE5): materials, lighting, Sequencer, and real profiling and optimisation.
• A genuine 3D generalist who can build assets from scratch across tools such as Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush and Substance.
• Several years of production experience (roughly 4 or more) in games, film, VFX, animation or an adjacent real-time or 3D craft, with shipped work to show.
• Comfortable with shaders and technical problem solving, ideally with some scripting (Python, Blueprints or similar).
• Rigging and character or mechanical animation is a strong plus.
• At ease working with, and critically judging, AI generated media, and comfortable in a repo-based pipeline of branches, pull requests and review.
• A real plus if you have used AI to generate 3D content and built AI-driven tools and pipelines.

Requirements

• A generalist at heart, happier owning the whole visual outcome than a single narrow slice of it.
• High output and high standards, able to move quickly without letting quality slip.
• Direct and collaborative: you give and take clear feedback, and you raise problems early.
• Genuinely curious about AI and generative tooling, and keen to make it part of your craft.
• Able to show a strong portfolio or showreel that proves the work is yours.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock options — everyone shares in what we're building.
• 25 days holiday + public holidays.
• Fully equipped setup from day one (no waiting for laptops).
• Regular company offsites and team socials.
• A flat, transparent culture with direct access to leadership.
