Senior VFX Artist

Job Description

Ripple Effect, an evolution of Battlefield's DICE LA, is a Los Angeles-based game studio on a mission to build community-first experiences through continuous innovation and boundary breaking technology.
Our Mission: We are on a journey to build community-first experiences through continuous innovation and boundary breaking technology.
Our Ethos: We value how ideas take shape - in a conversation, a prototype, a dream. Inspiration flows through our studio, homes, and minds. With one drop of inspiration, the idea begins to spread and the smallest idea quickly grows to something bigger than us. That's by design. As with our games, we are advancing the industry - one idea at a time. We are Ripple Effect.
Our Values:
• Community first
• Excellence through iteration
• Quality in our craft
• Bold risk taking
• Honesty & transparency
• Creative diversity

We are looking for experienced VFX Artists like you, to join us in our mission to create amazing games and experiences, and to enhance ourselves and our craft.

Responsibilities:
• Create stunning real-time visual effects using a mastery of high-quality particle effects, textures, and shaders
• Optimize effects for performance on multiple platforms
• Work with team members to share knowledge and solve cross-discipline problems

Skills We Look For:
• Experience with Houdini and dynamic simulations
• Experience with Photoshop, Maya or 3DS Max
• Strong sense of lighting, color, form and motion
• Experience with Python scripting or equivalent
• Familiar with PBR workflows
• Strong proficiency in technical problems solving
• Collaborate effectively within a team
• Previous game production experience

Benefits

We are proud of the great perks we offer like comprehensive health and benefit packages, tuition reimbursement, 401k with company match and, of course, free video games. And since we realize it takes world-class people to make world-class games, we offer great compensation packages and a culture that thrives on creativity and individuality.
