This role is hands-on and requires an expert in modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering, with the ability to rapidly iterate low- to mid-poly assets optimized for real-time performance.

You will define and elevate the visual style, collaborate closely with designers and engineers, and deliver production-ready 3D assets that meet mobile performance and aesthetic standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce 3D environments, structures, props, and illustration-style assets for mobile digital products.
• Lead visual direction and asset development across multidisciplinary teams.
• Establish and maintain the visual style, quality bar, and best practices for 3D execution.
• Rapidly prototype low-poly models before refining into production assets.
• Partner with engineers to ensure correct implementation, performance optimization, and shader/material compatibility.
• Present visual explorations, concepts, and iterations to leadership teams.
• Participate in critiques, brainstorming sessions, and cross-functional reviews.
• Export and deliver production-ready assets, including UVs, textures, materials, and supporting files.

Must-Have Qualifications
