Company Overview

We are a studio dedicated to merging authentic cultural storytelling with world-class gameplay design. Our mission is to build immersive, high-fidelity experiences for global audiences across Next-Gen Consoles and Mobile. We value technical excellence, narrative depth, and a collaborative "player-first" philosophy.

About the Role

As a Senior Environment Artist, you are a master of world-building and spatial storytelling. You will take 2D concepts and transform them into breathtaking 3D environments that define the player's journey. You are a technical pillar of the art team, balancing high-fidelity visual aesthetics with the rigorous performance requirements of AAA cross-platform development. You will bridge the gap between Level Design and Final Art, ensuring our worlds are as functional as they are beautiful.

Responsibilities

• World Building & Layout: Lead the creation of immersive, high-fidelity 3D environments, from sprawling natural landscapes to intricate urban interiors.
• Modular Workflow: Architect and implement efficient modular kits and prop libraries that allow for rapid world-building while maintaining visual variety.
• Asset Creation: Own the end-to-end pipeline for high-quality environment assets, including high-poly modeling, sculpting, retopology, UV mapping, and PBR texturing.
• Technical Integration: Integrate assets into Unreal Engine 5, managing level composition, world partition, and initial lighting setups.
• Performance & Optimization: Own the technical health of your environments. Profile and optimize draw calls, vertex counts, and texture memory to ensure 60FPS performance on both consoles and mobile.
• Material & Shader Mastery: Collaborate with Technical Artists to develop and apply complex PBR materials and shaders that enhance environmental realism.
• Level Design Collaboration: Partner closely with Level Designers to ensure that artistic beauty never compromises gameplay flow, player metrics, or navigation (NavMesh).
• Technical Mentorship: Drive high standards through detailed asset reviews, technical documentation, and hands-on guidance for Junior and Mid-level environment artists.
