Job Overview

Are you passionate about creating photorealistic, real-time 3D experiences? Join us to craft high-fidelity environments, props, and materials for immersive virtual property tours, interior visualizations, and interactive applications. As a 3D Generalist, you will own the asset pipeline end to end—from modeling and texturing to lighting, optimization, and engine integration in Unreal Engine or Unity.

Responsibilities

• Create high-quality hard-surface and organic models, modular environment kits, and hero props from concepts and references.
• Produce clean topology, UVs, and baked maps; author PBR textures and reusable material libraries.
• Set up lighting, post-processing, and reflection systems for photoreal real-time scenes and offline renders when required.
• Optimize assets for performance across mobile and desktop targets, including LODs, lightmaps, collisions, and draw-call budgeting.
• Assemble and iterate scenes in Unreal/Unity using Blueprints or prefabs, material/shader graphs, and profiling tools.
• Build and maintain scalable pipelines, export presets, and naming/versioning standards; contribute to asset libraries.
• Collaborate with designers, engineers, and product to meet visual quality, performance, and delivery timelines.
• Perform visual QA; troubleshoot shading, normals, and artifact issues; profile and resolve bottlenecks.
• Prepare turntables, cinematic shots, and marketing renders using Sequencer or Cinemachine as needed.
• Document workflows and handoffs; participate in reviews and sprint ceremonies.

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional experience as a 3D Artist/Generalist in games, visualization, or interactive media.
• Strong portfolio showcasing modeling, UVs, baking, and PBR texturing with consistent texel density and material fidelity.
• Proficiency in Unreal Engine or Unity for scene assembly, materials, lighting, and post-processing.
• Solid understanding of real-time rendering and optimization: LODs, lightmapping, reflection probes/captures, GPU/CPU profiling.
• Hands-on with DCC/tools: Blender/Maya/3ds Max; Substance Painter/Designer; Photoshop; optional ZBrush.
• Experience integrating assets into engine-ready pipelines, including collisions, lightmap UVs, and export presets.
• Familiarity with version control (Git or Perforce) and collaborative workflows in Agile teams.
• Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and communication skills.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Game Development, Animation, Computer Graphics, Fine Arts, Architecture, or a related field.
• Diploma or certification in 3D/Animation from a recognized institute is acceptable.
• Equivalent industry experience with a strong portfolio will be considered in lieu of a formal degree.
• Preferred: coursework or certification covering PBR texturing, lighting, and real-time rendering (Unreal/Unity).

Preferred Qualifications

• UE5 Nanite/Lumen or Unity URP/HDRP experience; knowledge of Lightmass/Path Tracer or real-time GI strategies.
• Basic Unreal Blueprints or Unity C# to wire scene logic, tools, or simple interactivity.
• Shader Graph/Material Editor proficiency; Niagara/VFX Graph exposure.
• Environment art for architecture/interior visualization; modular kits, trim sheets, and atlases.
• Photogrammetry cleanup, procedural tools (e.g., Houdini), or CAD-to-game workflows.
• Experience with asset optimization for low/medium spec devices and WebGL/streaming constraints.
• Understanding of asset management at scale, naming conventions, and catalog-driven pipelines.

What You'll Work On

• Interactive virtual property tours and photoreal interior/home visualization tools.
• Reusable environment kits, materials, and lighting rigs for rapid world-building.
• High-quality renders and real-time scenes for product demos, marketing, and customer experiences.

Benefits

• Build real-world 3D products used by thousands of customers in a fast-growing proptech environment.
• Mentorship from senior 3D/engine developers and exposure to full SDLC in an agile setup.
• Access to modern engines, tools, and high-end hardware for real-time visualization.
• Collaborative culture that values ownership, creativity, and rapid iteration.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a link to your portfolio showcasing your best 3–5 projects (wireframes, UVs, texture sets, and engine screenshots/renders recommended)
