• Track record delivering refined hover states, micro-interactions, and motion details that elevate overall UI feel.
• Solid foundation in core technical art skills, including shader logic, texture/material optimization, and performance profiling.
• Keen sensitivity to timing, easing, and motion design principles as applied within UI contexts.
• Strong collaborative capability, able to take existing visual and UX concepts and enhance them through technical refinement.
• Comfort operating in loosely defined, exploratory situations to discover the right feel for a specific screen or moment.
• Solid communication skills with working English fluency at B2 level or higher, supporting clear understanding of business needs and their translation into technical solutions.

Responsabilidades

• Build refined, high-performing technical art solutions leveraging materials, UMG, animation, FX, lighting, Blueprints, and camera systems within UE4/5
• Establish forward-thinking tech art templates, thematic direction, and guiding principles for the product's evolving UI
