3D Effect Designer (Leader)

CyberAgent's Game and Entertainment division, which coordinates around eight game subsidiaries, is hiring a 3D Effect Designer (Leader) for its Core Creative unit. The unit tackles cross-company creative issues and covers illustration, character and background design, concept art and direction for the group's smartphone games.

The designer creates visual effects for new and live mobile titles and owns their quality control. The work uses Unity together with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, in a fast-moving development environment, and includes working with outside vendors and, as a leader, shaping how effects are produced.

Applicants need experience building 3D effects for 3D games in tools such as Maya, Unreal Engine or Unity, plus experience in quality management and in managing external contractors. Experience leading effects on smartphone games, the design sense to adapt effects to presentation and function, and scripting or shader knowledge are preferred. The team wants someone who has built effect workflows, or is keen to design ways to make effect production more efficient, and who can find new expression within the processing limits of mobile devices.
