Job description

Are you a talented VFX Artist looking for a new adventure? At Darewise, we are speaking to passionate and driven VFX Artists that are excited about opportunities to work on unique, stylised projects and who love nothing more than creating cutting edge visual effects for video games.

The majority of your time will be spent designing and implementing (and optimising) visual effects into Life Beyond in order to help make the game come alive. You will work with the Art Director, Art Production Manager, as well as the design team, to create visually stunning effects that enhance gameplay and elevate the overall player experience.

You’ll be a big fan of working in Unreal and will be well-versed with making effects and materials in UE4, and can showcase examples of creating stylised effects in your portfolio or during the recruitment process.

Darewise is committed to building a culturally diverse team and strongly encourages applications from female and minority candidates.

Please note that this position is either full-time on-site in Paris - or you can work remotely from your home anywhere in Europe.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Knowledge of 3D graphs, particle systems, physics and shaders
  • Experience in creating engaging real-time VFX using 2D and 3D software (Houdini, Photoshop, Krita, Maya, Blender, 3DSMax…) and in-game VFX system
  • Capable of painting special VFX textures from the ground up and corresponding to an established style
  • Strong sense of rhythm and colour, paying attention to details and gameplay needs

You give us your skills, dedication and enthusiasm, and here’s what you get back:

  • A competitive salary (based on experience) + stock options + 20% profit sharing
  • 35 days off per year
  • Flexible working hours without time tracking - we trust you to deliver on your work commitments
  • Choose where you wish to live! The company is distributed and will accommodate you wherever you are
  • Choose your own software - we want you to be comfortable and efficient
  • Attend in-person events with the entire Darewise team multiple times a year
  • Visit your co-workers in other countries for free (up to twice a year)
  • Access to digital book and game libraries

If you choose Paris and our headquarters as your base, here are some added benefits:

  • Live in Paris, one of the most iconic and exciting cities in the world!
  • Relocation packages, including EU working visa assistance if necessary
  • Public + private health insurance
  • 50% coverage of the cost of your public transport card
  • €500 per year to cover sustainable transportation costs, with the exception of cars, such as bicycle leasing costs, skateboards, etc
  • Access to physical book and game libraries
  • An ergonomic work set-up, with Herman Miller chairs and standing desks
  • Choose your own hardware - we want you to be comfortable and efficient

Preferred experience

  • Solid experience working on video game projects using Unreal Engine
  • Expertise in creating high-quality particle effects and materials or textures
  • A portfolio showcasing a high-quality VFX reel
  • Ability to create stylised effects
  • A good understanding of shaders
  • A good understanding of 3D models and the ability to apply effects to them
  • Natural artistic ability and feeling for game development
  • Capable using Photoshop and similar tools
  • Excellent communicator comfortable giving and receiving feedback

Also nice to have

  • Experience working on a stylised video game
  • Knowledge of UI effects and implementation

Recruitment process

Our recruitment process consists of a preliminary application screening, HR Interview, Lead Interview, and Executive Interview, and may include a technical test, with an on-site interview as the final step in the process (Covid crisis and travel restrictions permitting). In special cases, exceptions or modifications can be made.
