Own and evolve the end-to-end Unity content pipeline for live ops assets, helping us ship 3D props and content updates with consistency and speed.
Implement and validate 3D assets in Unity: prefabs, materials, shaders, collisions, LODs, lighting setups, and import settings, with an eye toward performance and reliability.
Build and maintain tools, scripts, and automation (primarily in C# and Udon) that reduce manual work, prevent common errors, and make publishing repeatable.
Create lightweight quality gates for content: asset validation checks, naming/structure conventions, performance budgets, and “ready to ship” checklists.
Debug content and pipeline issues across disciplines, working with engineers on technical constraints and with artists on asset readiness.
Collaborate with Product Design and Creators partners to ensure content supports the intended user experience and meets our quality bar.
Document workflows so the whole team can move faster as we scale content volume in 2026.

You have 3+ years experience as a Technical Artist, Tools Artist, or similar role (or equivalent shipped work).
You’re deeply comfortable in Unity and understand what it takes to ship real-time 3D content that performs well.
You can write scripts (most likely C#) and you’ve built tools or automation that helped teams move faster or reduced production risk.
You understand 3D fundamentals (meshes, materials, textures, lighting, optimization) and can collaborate effectively with artists on asset quality.
You think in systems and pipelines: you notice recurring failure modes, then design guardrails that prevent them.
You communicate clearly across disciplines and enjoy being the person who turns ambiguity into a reliable workflow.
You have a strong ownership mindset: you care about shipping, not just “building a perfect tool someday.”
