At Riot, Senior Technical Artists build the systems, tools, and workflows that help artists create high-quality content efficiently and sustainably. In this role, you’ll combine hands-on real-time VFX craft with technical problem-solving to turn creative and gameplay goals into reusable, scalable solutions that support artists, designers, and engineers.
As a Senior VFX Technical Artist on an unpublished R&D product, you’ll help establish and evolve the VFX systems and content pipelines that bring the experience to life. You’ll own meaningful technical problems end to end, from prototyping Niagara-based solutions and artist-facing tools to developing Houdini workflows, documenting best practices, and improving performance and production reliability.
You will report into the Technical Art Manager of the team.
For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this could be your role!
At Riot we strongly believe in work / life balance, and we encourage that with our open paid time off policy, paid parental leave (for both primary and secondary carers) and flexible work schedules to fit your lifestyle. We also believe that work should be fun, we have co-op gaming areas, a play fund so you can broaden and deepen your knowledge of players and community, and all the snacks you would ever need to power through your day (even healthy snacks!). And that’s not all we offer, there’s also:
At Riot Games, we put players first. That mission drives every decision in our quest to create games and experiences that make it better to be a player. Whether you’re working directly on a new player-facing experience or you’re supporting the company as a whole, everyone at Riot is part of our mission. And just like in our games, we’re better when we work together. Our goal is to create collaborative teams where you are empowered to bring your unique perspective everyday. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we’re looking forward to your application.
