Hybrid work in our Warsaw office is preferred for this role.**
Collaborating with Environment Art and Tech/Gameplay teams to integrate visual assets into Unreal Engine and resolve technical challenges.
Designing and optimizing performance-efficient shaders and materials, including advanced snow and ice, weather effects, wind, water surfaces and terrain layering/blending, tailored to the scale of an open-world game.
Developing and maintaining procedural tools (Unreal PCG, Houdini) to support the generation of vegetation, rocks, paths and complex terrain structures.
Regularly profiling and optimizing memory and rendering budgets, including draw calls, polygon counts, textures, VRAM and streaming, using Unreal Engine tools such as Unreal Insights, PSO and GPU Visualizer.
Creating and improving scripts and tools for production workflows, including Python scripting in Unreal Engine, asset validation, automated LOD generation and level subdivision.
Supporting the implementation of lighting systems (Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps) and particle effects (Niagara), with a focus on maintaining smooth performance in FPP gameplay.
Creating clear technical specifications and guidelines for both internal artists and external outsourcing partners.
