About the Role

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

Key Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • Demonstrate a strong sense of ownership and autonomy in task execution, producing high-quality work with minimal oversight, and actively seeking opportunities to enhance pipeline efficiency and visual quality.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in creating high-quality shaders and technical assets for real-time rendering.
  • Strong understanding of the technical foundations behind visually stunning textures and shaders in a physically-based rendering pipeline.
  • Proficiency in creating stylized and PBR shaders using node-based shader editors, tiled layered material systems, shader networks, procedural texturing, and HLSL code.
  • Experience with console, PC, and mobile platforms, and ability to scale shaders to optimize for each.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to share ideas and articulate visions across disciplines.
  • Familiarity with all the tools, techniques, and asset creation pipelines: UE5, Substance Designer, Substance Painter, Photoshop, modeling, baking, and texturing.
