What You'll Do

Join the industry-leading Unreal Engine team as a Senior Technical Artist and help shape the future of the world and content creation. You'll work hands-on across the full development cycle from procedural content generation to world partition streaming, modeling, and terrain tools to define what best-in-class tools look like for creators across all platforms.

In this role, you will

• Contribute to the design and iterative development of world building and content creation tools in Unreal Engine
• Partner with Programming and UX teams to design workflows and build applicable solutions
• Ensure tools are best-in-class by creating prototypes, demos, and examples, and providing ongoing feedback
• Drive product initiatives with minimal direction
• Engage with internal Epic Games production teams and external users to understand their needs and requirements
• Apply subject matter expertise to influence product deliverables and manage the product roadmap
• Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to articulate the problems you're solving and the value delivered to users

What we're looking for

• Experience in world-building and/or content creation (as a Senior Technical Artist or equivalent), working alongside strong programming teams
• Subject matter expertise in environment and asset production, 3D modeling, geometry scripting, and procedural content generation
• Experience with Unreal's Procedural Content Generation (PCG) Framework, Houdini, Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender
• Ability to represent user needs and think across near-term (tactics) and long-term (strategy) product goals
• Experience driving product initiatives and seeing features through from development to productization
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to manage complex tasks, adapt to shifting scope, and work across cross-functional teams
• Scripting experience or strong technical fundamentals
• Artistic skills or a strong eye for evaluating artistic work
• Experience with Unreal Engine, Unity, or a proprietary game engine is a plus
