Yuga Labs is hiring a

Web3 Technical Art Director

The Team

Creative is our product. It’s at the center of everything Yuga does. This team is made up of multidisciplinary designers, illustrators, 3D artists, writers, art directors, and creative directors who work across all of our projects.

Who We’re Looking For

Yuga’s projects span across verticals (gaming, streetwear, events, and more), communities, partners, and geographies. They even span beyond Yuga itself as we build Otherside, an interoperable metaverse game and platform that gives users the ability to create their own assets and bring anything they own anywhere they want (including other metaverses). We’re looking for a company-wide Head of 3D/Technical Director who can take on all of the moving parts — and keep them all moving smoothly, in sync, and in the right direction. The ideal candidate has a head for processes and a heart for gaming.

The Job

• Build the right pipelines to be able to create 3D assets at scale
• Set asset guidelines to allow outside creators create for Otherside
• Supervise and participate in all aspects of projects from staffing to tools
• Work closely with other departments to define the technical requirements and restrictions for projects, including all technical architecture and process choices
• Manage the programming team, including employee performance evaluation and code reviews
• Provide expertise, analysis, and problem-solving across design, programming, debugging, and optimization

Your Skills

• 8+ years experience in game systems engineering
• 5+ years recent experience in the video game industry on AAA or mobile games
• Degree in Computer Engineering or Computer Science or equivalent experience
• Ability to identify risks early and often and suggest mitigation strategies that are thought through and consider multiple paths to a solution
• Knowledge of the technical pipeline and all the processes needed to make a game
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and team management skills
• Ability to optimize code size and speed to take full advantage of the capabilities of modern game platforms
• Personal interest in video games with a solid knowledge of the field
• Experience with modern commercial game engines

Bonuses

• Advanced experience in core engine development, networking, mobile development, gameplay, and/or tool development
• Experience shipping multiple games as Lead Developer or Lead Programmer
