Hello fellow Tech Artists,
Quantum Break is out and we are looking for new people to join our horde! We’re looking for a Technical Artist and a Senior Technical Artist, the latter being more materials/physics dude and the former character tech. We have very interesting challenges to work on (our facial animation pipeline for instance is pretty much unique at the moment) and a production environment geared around avoiding crunch and having a sane work life balance. We will help you relocate to the beautiful country Finland where the sun doesn’t set at summer and there’s 100 000+ lakes to swim in!
