Jobvite, Inc.; Región Centro; Híbrido; MXN 1.513.000 - 2.521.000; A tiempo parcial

Descripción de la vacante

Amber is seeking a Technical Artist to optimize a stylized Unreal Engine 5 game for cloud streaming. You will profile GPU cost, reduce shader work, and preserve the distinctive look while fitting budgets. Collaboration spans Unreal engineers, UX designers, QAs, and production in a remote 4-month contract.

Responsibilities include creating LODs, tuning Lumen/Nanite/VSM, and building editor tools. Strong English communication is essential for cross-team alignment.

Formación

• At least 4 years as a technical artist in games, including large or complex projects.
• At least 3 years of hands-on Unreal Engine 4 or 5 experience.
• Proven experience profiling and optimizing content in production games using GPU and memory profiling tools.
• Strong knowledge of materials, textures, LODs, lighting, VFX, and animation.
• Hands-on production experience with Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadow Maps.
• Strong grasp of real-time rendering, including shader and material optimization, overdraw reduction, and texture memory management.
• Experience building Unreal editor tools or validation scripts.
• Experience with Perforce or a similar version control system.
• Comfortable explaining visual and performance trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders, in English, spoken and written.

Responsabilidades

• Profile GPU cost and memory use with Unreal Insights, RenderDoc, and similar tools.
• Use profiling data to prioritize work. Verify that each change delivers a measurable gain without visible quality loss.
• Hand over non-art bottlenecks to engineering, with profiling data.
• Reduce shader cost, overdraw, draw calls, and texture memory.
• Tune Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadow Maps for performance.
• Create LODs and simplify materials where global settings fall short.
• Protect the art style. Check every optimization against the original look: outlines, shading, post-process effects, lighting mood, and fog.
• Check how line work and fine detail hold up under cloud streaming. Adjust content where needed.
• Define content budgets and help engineering tune scalability settings.
• Build editor tools and validation checks to catch budget issues.
• Flag visual and performance risks early. Explain trade-offs to internal and external stakeholders.
