About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Shader Technical Artist to join our team at 2K Games. As a key member of our art team, you will be responsible for creating high-quality shaders and technical art that bring our games to life.

Responsibilities
  • Utilize extensive experience in Unreal Engine to craft and optimize shaders and master materials, ensuring seamless integration and user-friendly utilization by the materials team.
  • Collaborate with development teams to establish and uphold artistic and technical shader standards, pushing the boundaries of real-time rendering while adhering to performance constraints.
  • Drive the development of innovative approaches to address complex technical and creative challenges, participating in the creation of shaders, shading validation tools, and defining shading standards.
  • Provide technical support in identifying and resolving inefficient content pipelines, conducting performance profiling, and optimizing shaders to enhance overall visual fidelity and maintain desired frame rates.
Requirements

We are looking for an experienced Senior Shader Technical Artist with a strong understanding of the technical foundations behind visually stunning textures and shaders in a physically-based rendering pipeline. You should be proficient at creating stylized and PBR shaders using node-based shader editors, tiled layered material systems, shader networks, procedural texturing, and HLSL code. You should also have a strong understanding of console, PC, and mobile platforms, and how to scale shaders to optimize for each.

You should possess a keen ability to communicate and collaborate across disciplines, sharing ideas and articulating visions. You should be inspired by growth and excellence and thrive on sharing your knowledge with your teammates while continually honing your craft. Iterating, communicating, and creating together is what drives your passion for art and games.

You should be familiar with all the tools, techniques, and asset creation pipelines: UE5, Substance Designer, Substance Painter, Photoshop, modeling, baking, and texturing.
