Technical Artist

We are looking for a procedural mastermind to join Sharkmob on an unannounced project! Someone who will work with Houdini and Unreal to help us create a wide range of procedural tools as we advance.

Responsibilities
You will be the hero that the artists thank in their prayers as you save them hours and hours of boredom by creating tools that automate away those tedious, repetitive tasks. Hopefully, you are passionate about procedural pipelines and want to spread the gospel of proceduralism.

You enjoy solving complex, hard-to-define problems and working with talented artists and designers.

You will work with areas like procedural world generation, tool creation (in Houdini and Unreal Engine), and generating content off-line to be used in the game. Beyond that, you will also research and develop art pipelines to help bring your coworkers' ideas to life!

There are also many opportunities to bring your own ideas on how we can use proceduralism to improve the game as we are always looking for innovative solutions.

Requirements
- Experience working with procedural setups in Houdini.
- You have previous work experience working with a game engine.
- Excellent communication skills as you will work closely with your team and other departments.
- Strong problem-solving and prototyping abilities. You will face tasks and requests that are not clearly defined and work together with other departments to figure out what you can achieve and how best to achieve it.
- A true team player since a large part of our job is solving problems for others, and you need to be able to support artists/designers with their work.
