Are you on a mission to create games that bond players together into deeply invested communities? Would you like to work on something comedic with lighthearted and whimsical characters? Do you think a lot about how modular rigging systems enable quick iteration, how streamlined DCC pipelines empower artists, or how to achieve feature-quality character animation within real-time constraints? Come join us at teamLFG!

As a Tech Art Lead at teamLFG, you’ll collaborate closely with the art team to bring iconic characters to life from pre-production and beyond for a completely new world at PlayStation.

Help build and deliver functional and innovative rigs in prototypes and establish scalable pipelines for production. Most importantly, you will work with a fun, diverse, cross-discipline team devoted to building a new universe from scratch.

We look for candidates who value joining a mission-focused team with a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, interests, and viewpoints.
