Overview

About this Position:

The Sr. 3D Artist will drive the creation of high-end, photoreal automotive content across cinematic, real-time, and still imagery pipelines. This role is responsible for crafting premium visual storytelling for global automotive brands spanning virtual photography, cinematic sequences, and environment creation while operating within a scalable, production-ready Unreal Engine pipeline.

The ideal candidate brings proven industry experience, a strong portfolio of shipped work, and the ability to collaborate closely with creative leadership in a live, iterative production environment.

What You’ll Do:

  • Real-Time Mastery: Author and maintain clean, modular Unreal scenes using Master/Sub-Sequences and Level Streaming.

  • Infrastructure & Standards: Operate within Perforce-managed environments, adhering to version control and publishing standards.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with teams to ensure assets, materials, and lighting scale across multiple vehicles and productions.

  • Asset Pipeline: Utilize Maya for expert asset prep, scene setup, and pipeline integration.

  • Creative Execution: Partner with directors and producers to execute evolving briefs and provide artistic/technical guidance.

  • Production Agility: Operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with incomplete product data.

  • Scalability: Contribute to best practices for a scalable, multi-vehicle production pipeline.

What You Bring:

  • Automotive Expertise: Proven experience in high-end automotive, product, or cinematic visualization.

  • Advanced Unreal Proficiency: Expert knowledge of Sequencer, Lumen, path tracing, lighting, and rendering.

  • Technical Toolkit: Strong Maya skills and deep understanding of real-time vs. offline rendering workflows.

  • Pipeline Literacy: Experience working within version-controlled pipelines (Perforce preferred).

  • Artistic Eye: Strong grasp of lighting, composition, material realism, and cinematic storytelling.

  • Direct Review Experience: Proven ability to iterate with creative leadership in live review settings.

Even better if you bring:

  • Specialized Rendering: Familiarity with Substrate materials, advanced shading, and master material systems.

  • Optimization & Scale: Experience building scalable environments and reusable assets with a focus on real-time optimization.

  • Post-Production: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite for final image polish and delivery.

Why It’s Great to Work Here:

  • We live by our C.O.R.E. values:

  • Collaborative - We work together to get better stuff done than we could alone.

  • Optimistic - Honest and confident in our quest forward; believing the impossible is possible.

  • Results-driven - Creativity is always in service of results and never for its own sake.

  • Entrepreneurial - Build something new. Shoot for the moon.

  • We offer comprehensive benefits and ‘work perks’ like great options for medical / dental / vision insurance, 401(k) with company matching, unlimited PTO, generous paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement, family forming assistance reimbursement, pet adoption assistance + “pawternity” leave, etc.

  • We have a hybrid work schedule (4 days a week in office / 1 day from wherever your heart desires).

  • We’re part of Publicis Groupe which is a huge global network, so there are many resources that come with that like Business Resource Groups for a variety of communities like Publicis Parents, VivaWomen, Egalité, etc.

  • We give back to our communities with our annual Day of Good and volunteer opportunities throughout the year.

  • We love to grow our talent and promote from within whenever possible, and we offer professional development trainings and regular structured performance reviews.

  • We have a lot fun! We have a whole committee called “Team Fun” that plans parties and events for us to celebrate birthdays, holidays, cultural moments, etc. Some recent fun events include a flower bouquet bar, origami lessons, and hearing from creative entrepreneurs at our Moonshot speaker series.
