Senior Technical Artist

Are you that bridge between code and art? Do you have that creative spark that allows you to create tools that save countless artists' lives (or maybe save them
a few seconds every time they click that one button)? Then you might be the
person we are looking for!

The role
In this role, you will work closely with artists, designers, programmers, and many other
disciplines. Guiding and mentoring other tech artists and the art

You will also provide feedback to other technical artists on how to grow and improve their processes as they advance. You will also enable and support them by ensuring they have everything they need to solve their tasks.
