3D Character Artist

Bring characters to life as a 3D character modeler. You’ll build complex character models, and organic meshes, and work across teams to rig, light, texture, and animate your creations.

3D Environment Modeler

Bring video game environments to life with your 3D modeling techniques. Add color, texture, shaders, and lighting to give the environment a finished look.

Animation VFX

Animation and Visual Effects give a game its personality. The most well-designed and crafted character doesn’t come to life until someone makes them move and gives them some personality. Visual Effects, such as fire, laser blasts, and warp gates, grab the player and transport them to another world altogether.

Character Concept Artist

Design and create the characters for interactive games. You’ll imagine the visual look of interactive characters with contextual details to bring them to life.

Environment Concept Artist

Combine a playful imagination with a high degree of artistic skill. Concept and flush out all aspects of environmental design, from small props to full culture kits.

Game/Level Designer

Balance gameplay elements to keep games engaging. You will also improve systems, contribute to features, and participate in testing to create immersive worlds and evoke emotions.

Gameplay Programmer

Gameplay programmers are the heart of any game. Your job will be to bring the game to life by implementing the core gameplay mechanics. You'll work very close with designers to build the game itself.

Systems Programmer

Systems programmers build the engine technology that runs the games. As a systems programmer, your code will power the backend of the engine and enable the creativity of the team. Graphics, networking, file systems, physics systems, and other core systems fall under this domain.

Tools Programmer

Tools programmers are the unsung heroes of the games industry. Your job is to enable the other developers to build the gameplay. You will create map editors, write plug-ins, and build custom tools to enable the designer's creativity.

UX/UI Designer

Use your knowledge of game features, design, motion graphics, and user paths to create an immersive experience.
