Job Description

Job Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled VFX Artist with a strong eye for detail and deep experience in both cinematic and real-time VFX pipelines. The ideal candidate will have a proven record of creating photorealistic and stylized effects for film, high-end TV, or AAA game cinematics, with the technical proficiency to optimize effects for real-time engines like Unreal Engine 5. You’ll collaborate closely with the VFX Supervisor, CG Leads, and compositors to design, simulate, and integrate complex effects that meet both artistic and technical direction.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create visually compelling simulations such as smoke, fire, water, destruction, and magical FX using Houdini, Embergen, or similar tools.
  • Develop and optimize GPU-based particle systems and shader-driven effects for real-time implementation in Unreal Engine.
  • Integrate VFX assets seamlessly into live-action plates or CG environments with a focus on lighting, motion, and camera coherence.
  • Collaborate with the lighting and compositing teams to ensure effects are rendered and integrated with consistent quality across sequences.
  • Interpret storyboards, animatics, and verbal direction to conceptualize VFX that support narrative and visual tone.
  • Maintain a clean and modular node-based workflow (e.g., Houdini HDA libraries or UE5 Niagara setups) that can be reused and adapted by the broader team.
  • Troubleshoot and debug VFX performance issues in real-time environments, including GPU bottlenecks and shader artifacts.

Required Qualifications:

  • 4+ years of professional experience in visual effects for film, episodic TV, or AAA games.
  • Advanced proficiency with Houdini (Vellum, Pyro, FLIP, RBD, custom VEX expressions).
  • Solid experience with Unreal Engine (Niagara, Material Editor, Blueprints for VFX logic).
  • Strong understanding of physics-based simulations and procedural workflows.
  • Experience with version control (e.g., Perforce), and production tracking tools (e.g., ShotGrid).
  • Demonstrated experience working in a collaborative pipeline with clear understanding of file structures, naming conventions, and asset handoff between departments.
  • Ability to take artistic direction, while also proposing creative and technical solutions.
