• Experience in identifying assets and areas for optimization through performance profiling.
• Ability to author and improve technical documentation and tutorials around tools and workflows.
• Experience with procedural content creation tools, photogrammetry workflows, and Adobe Substance Automation Toolkit would be a bonus.

Benefits

We offer an extensive benefits package to our team including:

• 22 days holidays + Christmas closure (typically 4 days) & Bank holidays (increasing with service at 5 years – one day each year until you reach 31 days)
• Private Medical Insurance, healthcare cash plan, including dental and Vision
• Life Assurance, Income Protection & Critical Illness Cover
• Enhanced Family Leave
• Interest Free, Tax-Free loans
• Enhanced Pension Scheme
• EAP a range of Mental Health and Wellbeing Support
