Senior Technical Artist — Unreal / Real-Time Integration

The integration spine of the project. Own the systems the art plugs into — sequencer structure, show-control/trigger hooks, runtime-drivable material and lighting parameters, performance, and build hygiene — and make sure vendor-built content slots cleanly into the client's master sequencer. This is the seat that proves the pipeline works.

What you'll do

• Own UE5 sequencer authoring and structure so content is callable by a master sequencer
• Build and integrate with client-provided hooks and external trigger layers (e.g. OSC)
• Make material, lighting and time-of-day parameters runtime-drivable
• Own performance profiling and optimisation against the frame budget
• Maintain Perforce/build hygiene and a clean, deliverable project structure
• Interface with the client's technical team on integration conventions

You'll need

• Senior technical art / UE generalist background with real-time delivery
• Sequencer, Blueprints, material systems, and performance profiling in UE5
• Integrating with external control/trigger systems (OSC, show control, or similar)
• Strong Perforce and team-pipeline discipline
• Able to bridge art and engineering
