  • Champion a culture of growth by actively promoting knowledge sharing and continuous learning.
Requirements
  • Someone who is passionate about innovation, improving pipelines, developing new tools, and adapting to new technologies.
  • Proven experience in the game development industry with a focus on relevant technical expertise.
  • Experience with Houdini, Maya, Photoshop, and Adobe's Substance software suite.
