Résumé du poste

Jobgether SRL is seeking a Technical Artist to optimize an Unreal Engine 5 game for cloud streaming, focusing on GPU/memory performance while preserving stylized visuals. You will profile, optimize, and develop editor tools, collaborating with Unreal engineers, UX designers, QA, and production in a remote European team.

The role emphasizes measurable performance gains, shader/material optimization, and maintaining visual readability within platform budgets, with a remote, four-month contract

Qualifications

• 4+ years as Technical Artist in game development
• 3+ years hands-on production with Unreal Engine 4/5
• Experience profiling and optimizing game content using GPU and memory profiling tools
• Strong knowledge of materials, textures, LODs, lighting, VFX, and real-time rendering workflows
• Hands-on with Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadow Maps
• Shader and material optimization, overdraw reduction, draw-call management, texture memory optimization
• Experience developing Unreal Engine editor tools, validation scripts, or similar tooling
• Experience using Perforce or comparable version-control system
• Ability to explain technical, visual, and performance trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills
• Ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary remote team
• Advantage: optimizing stylized, non-photorealistic visuals
• Cloud streaming/video encoding impact understanding is a plus
• Experience porting/adapting games for lower-spec hardware is advantageous
• UE5.5+ experience is a plus
• Experience with outsourced development teams desirable
• Experience shipping AAA or high-quality AA games advantageous

Responsabilités

• Profile GPU performance and memory usage using Unreal Insights, RenderDoc, and other profiling tools.
• Analyze profiling data to prioritize optimization work and verify measurable performance gains without visual degradation.
• Identify bottlenecks outside art/content scope and provide data for engineering teams.
• Optimize shaders, materials, overdraw, draw calls, texture memory costs.
• Tune Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadow Maps to meet platform budgets.
• Create/refine LODs and simplify materials where needed.
• Preserve visual identity—outlines, shading, post-processing, lighting, atmosphere, fog.
• Evaluate cloud streaming and video encoding impact on line work and fine details; adjust content accordingly.
• Define content budgets and collaborate on scalability settings and performance targets.
• Build UE editor tools, validation scripts, and checks to identify content exceeding budgets.
• Proactively identify risks and communicate trade-offs to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Unreal engineers, UX, QA, and production to align priorities.
• Keep optimization decisions focused on measured trade-offs while maintaining readability
