Description

You will lead the design and development of scalable content pipelines and production tools for AAA games, defining workflows and creating tools to streamline production. Acting as the bridge between artists, engineers, and designers, you'll guide a team of technical artists and collaborate with external partners to ensure efficient, high-quality asset creation.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in the games industry, with at least 2 shipped AAA titles.
• Proven track record as a Senior or Lead Technical Artist with pipeline and tools focus.
• Expert knowledge of Unreal Engine 5’s editor, content pipeline, Blueprints, and asset workflows.
• Proficiency in scripting/programming languages (Python, C++, C# or similar), with a focus on framework design and implementation.
• Strong understanding of version control (Perforce) and build/automation systems (Jenkins, Unreal Build Tools, CI/CD pipelines).
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.

Responsibilities

• Architect and maintain scalable pipelines for all content disciplines — including environments, characters, animation, vehicles, materials, VFX, and cinematics.
• Design and implement custom tools, scripts, and workflows to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and standardize asset integration.
• Partner with engineering to extend UE5’s editor functionality and improve asset processing.
• Work with content creators to ensure pipelines are user-friendly, scalable, and optimized for production needs.
• Establish best practices for asset versioning, content validation, and automated build processes.
• Lead, mentor, and inspire your team, setting quality and productivity benchmarks.
• Conduct regular reviews, provide feedback, and support professional growth within the team.
• Coordinate with production to manage priorities, schedules, and resourcing for development.
• Collaborate with outsourcing partners by defining pipeline requirements and ensuring seamless integration of external content.
