Job description


For the development of their next game Windblown, Motion Twin is looking for a Technical Artist with strong programming skills and a strong artistic sensibility. Working closely with the rest of the team, this person will be primarily responsible for envisioning, architecting, implementing, and maintaining the graphical aspects of the game.


As a cooperative, Motion Twin currently consists of 8 partners who oversee all aspects of the games developed, beyond their technical roles. Each partner has a strong impact on the direction of the projects and the company as a whole. Any new person joining the company can eventually request the status of partner to share in the decisions and their consequences, risks, and rewards. If you want to know more about us, you can consult our FAQ.


Due to our unique structure, our goal is also to find our next partner. Therefore, the role goes beyond technical responsibilities and requires an interest in all aspects of the position, such as other aspects of the game and the company's strategy. The candidate should be able to express themselves on a multitude of topics that extend beyond their basic areas of expertise and demonstrate initiative and autonomy in any domain.

  • Plan and break down tasks according to collectively defined objectives.
  • Show interest and take a position on topics beyond the current project (organization, company strategy, etc.)
Skills:


  • Ability to identify artistic needs and choose appropriate technical solutions.
  • Strong skills in creating and integrating visual effects and tools in Unity, with an understanding of tools used at the beginning and end of the production pipeline.
  • Capability to develop and maintain these tools to make them accessible to the art team.
  • Ability to propose new technical solutions.
  • Solid artistic foundation (composition, lighting, color theory) to understand and interpret the needs of the art team.
  • Excellent knowledge of Unity, C#, and the URP pipeline.
  • Proficiency in shaders, ShaderGraph, and an associated language (HLSL, ShaderLab, etc.).
  • Familiarity with 3D softwares (Houdini, 3DSMax, Maya, Blender, etc.) is a plus..
  • Familiarity with 2D software (Substance Designer and Painter, Photoshop).
  • Attention to polish and detail.
  • At least 5 years of professional experience in a game studio.
Candidate Profile:


  • French-speaking.
  • Participation in the creation of at least one commercially released game.
  • Strong artistic sensibility and curiosity.
  • Autonomy and good communication skills.
  • Proactive and able to make proposals.
  • Curiosity and willingness to step out of your comfort zone.
  • Enjoy learning new skills (even beyond technical ones).
  • Constructively critical of your own work and that of others.
  • Experience and willingness to work in a team.
Additional Information:


  • Full-time permanent position (35 hours/week).
  • Possibility to request partner status (equal rights with other partners regarding salary, voting rights in assemblies, and distribution of profits in case of benefits).
  • Location: On-site in Bordeaux or remote work possible (part-time or 100%) from mainland France. If you are currently located elsewhere, assistance with relocation and/or a 6-month remote work period from your current location is possible (details to be confirmed together).
  • Meal vouchers (Swile card provided with mobile payment option).
  • Necessary work equipment provided: office supplies, computer equipment (PC/Mac, laptop/desktop), and recreational items (video games, controllers, etc.).
  • Full coverage health insurance (including dependents).
