Company Overview
A digital experience and technology-focused organization is seeking a Technical 3D Artist to support the development of high-quality real-time visual experiences. The company delivers interactive digital solutions that combine creative design, advanced visualization, and emerging technologies to create engaging customer experiences across web-based and immersive platforms.

About the Role
This position is ideal for a highly skilled Technical 3D Artist with strong expertise in real-time asset creation, optimization, and interactive visualization. The role requires close collaboration with developers, designers, and creative teams to produce production-ready 3D assets that balance visual quality and performance.

The successful candidate will be responsible for creating and optimizing 3D content for interactive web experiences, product visualization, and real-time rendering environments while contributing to visual quality, artistic direction, and technical implementation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create high-quality 3D models optimized for real-time rendering environments

  • Perform high-to-low poly retopology with a focus on efficient topology and performance optimization

  • Develop high-quality visual presentation through:

    • Cost-effective lighting techniques

    • HDRI and environment mapping workflows

    • Material and shader optimization

    • Texture baking and texture packing processes

    • Color management best practices

  • Optimize asset size and performance through efficient use of normal maps, instancing, and asset optimization techniques

  • Maintain visual consistency and quality across rendered and interactive experiences

  • Contribute to artistic direction with attention to realism, detail, and visual polish

  • Collaborate closely with developers and designers to ensure smooth integration of assets into rendering engines and production pipelines

  • Support asset development for interactive applications, configurators, and visualization projects

  • Balance visual fidelity with web and real-time performance requirements

Required Qualifications
