What We’re Looking For

Professional experience creating assets for games or other real-time interactive products

Hands‑on experience implementing and optimizing assets in Unity

Proficiency in Blender and relevant texturing or 3D‑production tools

A practical understanding of real‑time rendering, polygon budgets, texture budgets, materials, lighting, and draw‑call optimization

The ability to work within an established art direction while making sound creative decisions

Experience taking assets through multiple stages of a production pipeline

Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a remote team
