Senior Technical Artist

About Gameloft

Join Gameloft, a leading global publisher of mobile games. As a Senior Technical Artist, you will be responsible for establishing a structured Tech Art function in our Paris studio. You will own the asset pipeline, mentor a Tech Artist, align Tech and Art teams, and focus on rendering and memory performance. This role offers the opportunity to build the Tech Art discipline from the ground up and advance your career within the company.

Responsibilities

• Ownership of the asset pipeline across Blender, Houdini, 3DSmax/Maya, and Unreal, including industrialization, documentation, and scalability.
• Mentoring and supporting the ramp-up of one Tech Artist, including task management, prioritization, and follow-up.
• Aligning Tech and Art teams on a shared pipeline, collaborating daily with Gameplay, Tech, Design, and Art teams.

Requirements

• Mastery of Houdini and Blender
• Solid Python scripting skills
• Strong knowledge of the Unreal Engine asset pipeline
• Knowledge of UE rendering and graphics pipeline: Blueprints, Material Editor, Niagara (VFX), Sequencer, Unreal Insights
• HLSL and Material Editor mastery for shader authoring
• Ability to identify and prioritize technical bottlenecks (rendering performance, memory)

Proven experience in management and mentoring

• Professional French and English (English is increasingly used day-to-day)
• Diplomatic: you navigate between Tech and Art teams with different cultures and build consensus
• Synthetic: you can boil down a complex technical problem into something any stakeholder can grasp
• Autonomous and structured: you manage your own time, you arbitrate between urgent and important without being told
• A builder: the idea of laying the foundations of a discipline rather than joining an already-established setup genuinely appeals to you
