Midwinter Entertainment was founded as an independent game developer in 2016. In 2022 we proudly became a Behaviour Interactive company and are now working on our next unannounced title. We believe in a culture of playfulness, fearlessness, and respect, and we aspire to create a thriving community that shares in our values, both around our games and in our workplace.

In this role, you will:

• Produce a variety of benchmark-quality visual effects using UE4/5.
• Implement UX features in Unreal Engine
• Plan outsourcing assignments, review and approve incoming work from Outsource Partners for consistency and quality.
• Work closely with other teammates to create and continually improve VFX best practices across the game and studio.
• Optimize VFX content for game clarity, ease-of-production and performance.

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of industry experience.
• Unreal Engine 4 experience, specifically in Blueprint, Material Authoring and Dynamic Lighting.
• Visual effects skills and attention to detail as demonstrated in a portfolio reel.
• Outstanding communication and collaboration skills.
• Understanding of performance and GPU rendering for creating optimized realtime content, lighting and materials.
• Time management, prioritization, and organizational skills.

While we believe all the listed qualifications are important to the role, we’re keen to hear from anyone who believes they have valuable experience to bring. If you’re passionate and align with our team and mission, but don’t meet all the qualifications, please still apply!
