You will collaborate closely with our development team, providing guidance and direction to maintain a consistent visual style while fostering creativity across all disciplines.

  • Work closely with environment artists and level designers to refine procedural content workflows and maintain artistic quality.
  • Optimize performance and memory usage for large-scale procedural worlds.
  • Ensure seamless integration between handcrafted and procedurally generated content.
  • Collaborate with the engineering team to define technical requirements and develop scalable solutions.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to junior team members in procedural content creation.


Requirements
  • 3+ years of experience as a World Artist in game development, with a focus on procedural content generation.
  • Deep expertise in Unreal Engine and procedural workflows.
  • Strong understanding of world-building techniques, landscape generation, and instancing methods.
  • Experience developing tools and pipelines for terrain, foliage, settlements, and asset scattering.
  • Solid programming/scripting skills in C++, or HLSL.
  • Familiarity with shader development and performance optimization for large environments.
  • Strong artistic sense and ability to balance procedural generation with creative direction.
  • Ability to debug and optimize complex pipelines.
  • Fluent in English; German is a plus.
  • Onsite position.
Nice to have
  • Experience with AI-driven procedural content generation.
  • Knowledge of Substance Designer, SpeedTree, or other procedural tools.
  • Understanding of multiplayer and networking considerations for procedural worlds.
  • Background in open-world game development or sandbox survival games.
  • Experience with Voxel Plugin


What we offer
  • Work on a groundbreaking AAA survival city-building game
  • Be part of a passionate and highly experienced team
  • Competitive salary and benefits package, including relocation assistance
  • Opportunity to shape the artistic vision of a large-scale, immersive world
  • A chance to grow with a rapidly expanding game studio backed by top industry veterans
