Your Mission

Infinity Ward is currently seeking a Senior Environment Artist in Mexico City.

In our fast-paced environment, priorities can shift quickly, so this role includes, but is not limited to, the following responsibilities:

• Craft believable, high-quality, photorealistic 3D environments that align with the creative vision of the Art Direction while meeting functional requirements from Design.
• Collaborate closely with Design, Lighting, and other Art teams to ensure environments support gameplay mechanics and visual storytelling.
• Set a high standard for quality through consistent asset creation and world-building techniques.
• Demonstrate autonomy and artistic judgment; feedback is primarily based on alignment with direction rather than quality issues.
• During pre-production, work with production and team leads to plan and prioritize tasks; help define scope to achieve optimal visual and gameplay outcomes.
• Show ownership with a high level of creativity and independence, requiring minimal oversight.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve content-related issues, including performance bottlenecks and visual inconsistencies.
• Provide guidance and feedback to junior and mid-level artists to support team and project goals.

• Excellent narrative and environmental storytelling skills, especially in set dressing and world building.
• Deep understanding of modular workflows related to architectural assembly and asset creation.
• Ability to work closely with tech artists and level leads to optimize performance (polygon count, draw calls, LODs, memory constraints).
• Advanced knowledge of physically based material workflows and shaders.
• Proficiency in UV mapping, baking, and texture workflows for asset creation (e.g., trim sheets, tiling textures, texel consistency).
• Expertise in software such as Max, Maya, Blender, Photoshop, and similar tools.
• Self-motivated, independent, and capable of managing deadlines effectively.
• Photogrammetry experience is a plus.
