Lead Technical Artist

 

 

 

As a Lead Technical Artist at Cloud Chamber you will join our talented development team to help shape the technical foundations of our artistic vision. You will be responsible for leading a dedicated technical team to build robust art pipelines and performance-driven systems. Utilizing your deep knowledge of Unreal Engine you will shape the technical efficiency of the art pipeline for our project, ensuring that our ambitious art output is technically feasible and ultimately bringing the richly imagined world of BioShock to life.

What You’ll Do:

• Support the Tech Art Director’s technical vision and standards for the Art department, ensuring that creative intent is translated into technically sound and performant reality.
• Must have experience creating and shipping AAA quality environments using Unreal 5 pipelines as a Principal or Lead technical artist.
• Establish and enforce the technical budgets for all art content to meet framerate and stability targets.
• Help design, build, and maintain the art production pipeline, from content creation to engine integration.
• Take ownership of the most complex technical art challenges that cannot be solved by individual contributors.
• Serve as one of the key communication links between Art, Engineering, and Design, aligning technical requirements, asset constraints, and engine capabilities.
• Identify workflow bottlenecks and problem solve with elegant solutions. 
• Proactively identify and resolve systemic, high-impact performance bottlenecks within asset creation and rendering systems.
• Mentor and manage the Technical Art team, and foster their professional growth.
• Ensure that all team members (including external partners) adhere to established technical standards, naming conventions, and workflow practices.

What We’ll Do Together:

At Cloud Chamber, we are champions of high standards, pushing for progress and embracing change. We will work closely and constructively across design, art, engineering, animation, and audio teams to realize our creative ambitions. Together, we will stay current on technological advancements and identify solutions to overcome developmental obstacles.

In this leadership capacity, you will support the Technical Art Director’s vision, ensuring creative intent is translated into a performant reality while taking ownership of the most complex technical challenges that arise during production.
