AddressAbout Deep Silver Dambuster Studios
Originally founded in 1999 as Free Radical Design our ambition and passion comes through as strongly now as when we first began. We are always seeking individuals who can emulate our values - passion, quality, and teamwork - which are embodied in our diverse and inclusive culture.
Even if you’re not sure that you meet all the criteria for a role, don’t be put off from applying - we want to hear from you. Our only requirement is that you work from the UK, and if you’re not here right now we can discuss relocation and sponsorship. Our studio is in Nottingham city centre and many of our roles can be offered on a hybrid or fully remote working basis – each role is different, so please refer to the advert below for further information. Our internal Wellbeing Committee and Mental Health First Aiders help ensure that our diversity is championed in a safe environment.
Technical Artist
Deep Silver Dambuster Studios - creators of the TimeSplitters series alongside Second Sight, Haze, Homefront: The Revolution, and the number one smash hit Dead Island 2 - has an exciting opportunity for a Technical Artist to join our highly talented Technical Art team.
Role overview
We know that Technical Art is a broad church and part of the fun is in applying your knowledge and analytical skills to new and varied challenges. With this in mind, we have chosen not to create a specific checklist of required skills for this role. Instead, send us your CV and portfolio with some examples of how you have produced beautiful things in clever ways. Disgusting things are also welcome, we made Dead Island 2 after all.
You can be experienced in special effects or lighting, materials or optimisation, HLSL or physics, making useful art tools in Houdini or anything else that could reasonably be deemed technical art - if you’re good at what you do then we can find a place for you!
