With an artistic yet technical eye, you’ll seamlessly and strategically manipulate lighting to draw the players’ eyes to key areas and subtly show them the way.

- Find **visual references **based on the artistic and technical directions.
- Set up** light sources** to support narrative elements and gameplay progression.
- Light game environments, characters, and cinematics to direct the players’ attention, set the **emotional tone**, communicate atmosphere and plot details, etc.
- Balance **artistic aspects** with** technical constraints**.
- ** Document **and share your lighting design knowledge and best practices.
- Refine your integrated lighting effects based on **feedback** received from interdependent teams, debugging when need be.

**Qualifications**:
**What you bring**
- A college diploma in Fine Art, Visual Effects, or equivalent (undergraduate degree an asset)
- At least 3 years of experience in lighting, texturing, image processing, or other relevant experience (photography, computer graphics, or pre-rendering an asset)
- Knowledge of 2D art tools (e.g. Photoshop) and familiarity with 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max) + game engines (e.g. Unity or Unreal)
- A solid understanding of art fundamentals (composition, space, colour theory, form, etc.)
- Ability to accept feedback and adapt to it
- Excellent observation, communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills
- A creative and collaborative spirit
- Aesthetic sensitivity and a keen eye for even the subtlest of details

**What to send our way**
- Your CV highlighting your background and skills
- A portfolio of your best work (attach images or send us a link to your personal website or online portfolio)
