Currently, we are seeking a skilled Technical Artist.

Your Role:

• Build VFX components for artists: particles, glows/emission, decals, trails, plus tools and presets;
• Profile performance and implement optimizations: draw calls, batching, overdraw, texture weight, particles;
• Build and improve the technical pipeline: tools, scripts, and plugins (C#, UI Toolkit) for artists and animators;
• Work closely with artists, game designers, animators, and programmers — translating creative requirements into technical solutions and vice versa;
• Write and maintain technical documentation for pipelines and tools;
• Debug and resolve technical issues at the intersection of art and code.

What makes you a perfect fit?

• Minimum 3 years of experience in mobile gaming projects;
• Understanding of Data Oriented Design Principles as a plus;
• Experience optimizing games for mobile platforms;

• Experience designing and maintaining shader/material systems at scale for a full project;
• Attention to detail and systems-level thinking;
• Deep understanding of Unity and the impact of Garbage Collection, Reflection, LINQ, etc. on performance.

What we offer:
? Competitive compensation;
? 100% recovering for vacations, sick leaves;
? 12 additional paid day offs per year;
? Budget for personal education, language courses & sports activities;
