• Collaborate closely with game designers to ensure VFX supports gameplay clarity, player feedback, and immersion.
• Work with engineers to integrate effects into gameplay systems and ensure technical stability.
• Optimize VFX for real-time performance, balancing visual quality with frame rate constraints.
• Iterate quickly based on playtests, feedback, and creative direction.
• Develop and maintain reusable VFX systems, prefabs, and workflows.
• Help establish and uphold a consistent visual effects style and quality bar across the project.

Who You Are:

• Professional experience as a VFX Artist in games, VR, or real-time interactive applications.
• Strong understanding of real-time VFX principles, including timing, readability, color, motion, and impact.
• Hands-on experience with Unity VFX tools (VFX Graph, Particle System, Shader Graph) or comparable engines.
• Ability to work within performance constraints and optimize effects for real-time rendering.
• Strong artistic eye combined with technical problem-solving skills.
• Experience collaborating with designers, artists, and engineers in a production environment.
• Familiarity with version control and asset pipelines.

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with Houdini or other procedural content tools.
• Experience shipping live or iterative products where effects evolve over time.
• Passion for games, interactive media, or immersive storytelling.
