This role requires someone that is up to that challenge, comfortable with uncertainty, and able to communicate clearly with other teammates. We’re looking for people with deep expertise in understanding real-time and off-line 3D render pipelines, digital content creation tools, and good knowledge of design and artistic language.
What you’ll need to succeed

- A portfolio of high-quality projects within 3D/AR/VR for advertising
- Proven results as a world-class creative in an international top-tier, high-pace, and fast-growing environment
- Experience with 3D art production workflows such as modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, or lighting with real-time engines
- Solid understanding of tools like Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, Houdini, Unity or Unreal Engine
- Intermediate skill with scripting knowledge in scripting languages such as Python, Javascript, or C#
- Experience and technical understanding of real-time art optimization and performance
- Ability to work independently and in a team environment, contributing and learning in an environment that fosters creative problem-solving and experimentation
- Excellent English verbal and written communication skills
- Passion for mentoring and training others toward excellence and success
