For all of these tasks, you will work closely with the animators, programmers, sound designers and artists here at Playdead.

What will you be doing? - Working within a small but dynamic art team, supporting the technical aspects of the art pipeline. - Developing and supporting environmental simulations, such as water, weather, sand, etc. - Being the technical bridge between art, animation, programming and sound to help bring an immersive world to life. - Collaborating with a dedicated team with high ambitions about visual and thematic design. Required Skills - Experience with Unreal Engine 5 is required. - Professional working experience within a 3D game production. - A strong portfolio of work which demonstrates a level of mastery in various aspects of technical art. - Comfortable using digital tools and software to find innovative solutions for simulating an open world game, with an art style we describe as “stylized realism.” - This is a full time position at our studio in Copenhagen, Denmark so you need to be willing to relocate (we offer full relocation support). Desired Skills - Some experience and competence with C++ is highly preferred - Great communication skills and ability to work effectively on shared projects. - Familiarity with other major game engines. Who We Are We are a team of 90 creative professionals. We experiment and collaborate with a focus on creating new experiences, and as such we are looking for people who can help us achieve them. Our approach to development does not include crunching towards arbitrary deadlines - instead, we particularly look for talented people who enjoy managing their own schedule and thrive on working within a friendly, collaborative environment. We love to make carefully crafted games with obsessive attention to detail and are always on the lookout for others who share that passion. Come help us create unique game experiences.
