Communicate effectively with team members, production and management to ensure that project goals and deadlines are met. Receive, give, and apply feedback effectively while maintaining a constructive attitude.

Skills, Experience and Qualifications:

3+ years of experience as a Texture or Technical Artist. Previous experience with creating Unreal materials and shaders from scratch.  Ability to quickly prototype proof-of-concept ideas and looks based on concept or reference. Strong knowledge of texturing software, preferably Substance Designer and Painter. Familiarity with material layer systems. Ability to work independently with a high level of autonomy. Experience with shader networks and procedural texturing. Familiar with Perforce. Strong organizational and communication skills, with a critical eye for detail. Highly detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and able to embrace change for a fast-growing organization. Ability to learn new areas of development. Ability to collaborate with peer-level Artists, Engineers, and Game Designers. Ability to partner with a diverse group of personalities effectively and constructively. Excellent time management skills. Able to problem-solve and prioritize issues while developing a production pipeline. Self-motivated towards solving creative problems. You have a love for research, reference, and documenting your findings to share with the team. Work ethic focused on dynamism and collaboration. Champion of high standards, pushing for progress, embracing change, and challenging the status quo. Uncompromising ethics and unwavering integrity. Willing to uphold the values of Cloud Chamber. Ability to take direction well. Able to respond elegantly to difficult creative changes, often late in the process. Humble, open to coaching, an iterative process, and group critique. A positive force multiplier with a great team-player attitude.
