The Role

We're looking for a Contract VFX Artist to help bring our worlds to life through high-quality, real-time visual effects. You'll play a key role in creating atmospheric, stylized, and gameplay-driven effects that enhance immersion, tension, and player feedback.

Design and implement effects that enhance player feedback, readability, and emotional impact
Work within Unreal Engine (Niagara preferred) to build, iterate, and polish effects
Collaborate with art direction to ensure consistency with the game's visual style and tone
Partner with designers to support gameplay clarity and moment-to-moment feedback
Optimize VFX for performance, memory, and scalability across target platforms
Iterate quickly based on feedback and production needs
Maintain clean organization and documentation of VFX assets

What We're Looking For

3+ years of experience creating real-time VFX for games
Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality, stylized, and/or atmospheric effects
Experience with Unreal Engine (Niagara strongly preferred) or similar real-time engines
Solid understanding of shaders, materials, and particle systems
Ability to balance visual quality with performance constraints
Strong collaboration and communication skills
Ability to work independently and deliver assets on schedule in a contract environment

Nice to Have

Experience working on horror or atmospheric games
Knowledge of Houdini or procedural VFX workflows
Basic scripting or technical art experience
Experience shipping at least one game title
Familiarity with console and multi-platform optimization
