Department:

Imerza
Employment Type:

Full Time
Location:

Imerza
Reporting To:

Scott Baumberger
Compensation:

$80,000 - $90,000 / year

Description
Compensation: $80,000 to $90,000 annually, commensurate with experience.

Imerza is a digital twin and architectural visualization studio built on Unreal Engine 5. As Epic Games' official US partner studio for Digital Twins, we work with developers, architects, and destination brands on some of the largest and most complex real-time environments in production today. We take craft seriously, and we take knowledge-sharing just as seriously. What you know is only as valuable as how well you share it.

We are looking for a Senior 3D Artist with deep UE5 production experience who can own complex tasks from brief to delivery, elevate the artists around them, and contribute to how the team operates. This is a hands‑on production role with real mentorship responsibility built in, not as a secondary duty.

Key Responsibilities
What You’ll Do

Execute complex real‑time production tasks across environments, assets, and architectural content

Deliver client‑ready work with minimal revision

Build and iterate PCG graphs for procedural environment population: vegetation, urban context, and asset distribution, without supervision

Apply real‑time lighting expertise across project contexts: Lumen global illumination, sun studies, interior artificial lighting, and the distinction between cinematic and real‑time approaches

Interpret architectural drawings, BIM exports, and FF&E documentation and translate them into accurate, high‑quality real‑time assets

Actively mentor mid and junior artists in UE5 tools, pipeline, and production standards; this is a core expectation of the role

Review work and provide specific, actionable technical feedback to junior and mid‑level artists

Document workflows so your expertise is accessible and usable by the team without requiring your direct involvement

Maintain rigorous version control discipline using Perforce

Participate in project kickoffs and contribute to process improvements

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
What We’re Looking For

5+ years of professional 3D production experience

Expert knowledge of Unreal Engine 5: Lumen, Nanite, PCG, and real‑time rendering pipelines

Deep real‑time lighting expertise, technically proficient and artistically confident

Solid understanding of BIM/CAD‑to‑UE5 pipelines: Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp via Datasmith

Proficiency in 3ds Max and/or Blender; Houdini and Substance beneficial

Perforce required; Jira or equivalent project tracking

Architectural visualization or architecture background strongly preferred; familiarity with architectural scale, construction documentation, and FF&E is a meaningful advantage. You will be interpreting architect drawings and BIM exports, not game briefs.

Portfolio Requirements

Submit a real‑time walkthrough reel demonstrating interactive environments; pre‑rendered video will not be accepted as a substitute

Include project‑level context for each piece: your specific contribution (modeling, lighting, composition, full‑scene ownership, etc.) and the production constraints you were working within

Before submitting, review our work at imerza.com. If the quality and approach do not resonate, this is probably not the right fit

Additional Requirements
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. This position is based in Sarasota, FL. Candidates who can work onsite or are willing to relocate are strongly preferred. Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.
