- Familiarity with version control systems (Perforce or Git) for managing work.
- Knowledge of color workflows in real-time development.
- Experience in writing and editing clear technical documentation.
- Capability to plan, design, and implement solutions for a wide range of technical art challenges.
- Strong communication skills to convey technical concepts to non-technical team members.
- A passion for learning new skills and techniques, both for personal growth and mentoring others.
