- Guide and review the creation of assets, lighting, and world-building with a consistent eye for realism
- Establish and maintain scalable, efficient workflows and pipelines
- Collaborate closely with design and engineering to ensure visual quality supports gameplay
- Oversee both internal and external asset production and quality
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in AAA game development
- Strong artistic fundamentals in anatomy, lighting, composition, and materials
- Solid understanding (not expert-level) of our toolset: Unreal Engine 5, ZBrush, Blender, and Marvelous Designer
- Ability to balance hands-on creative direction with team coordination and production awareness
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills across disciplines
- Ability to work onsite in Munich, Germany
- Valid EU work authorization
What We Offer
