Unreal 5 Technical Artist - Black Ember Games

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a skilled and collaborative Technical Artist to join Black Ember Games in Berlin. This is a hybrid position requiring a minimum of 3 days per week in our Berlin office.

You are someone who sees the seams between art and engineering not as friction, but as opportunity. You think visually and reason technically, and you find genuine satisfaction in building the systems, tools, and pipelines that let a creative team do their best work without fighting the engine to do it.

You've shipped real games. You know what a well-built asset pipeline feels like versus a chaotic one, and you have the scars to prove the difference matters. You're equally at home writing a Python tool to automate a tedious workflow, debugging a shader that's tanking performance, or sitting with an artist to help them understand why their mesh is blowing the draw call budget.

We're a small team with big ambitions and an indie mindset. That means we move fast, share ownership broadly, and genuinely want to hear your ideas — not just execute a task list. If you're energized by that kind of environment and want to help build something from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a hybrid position with a minimum of 3 days per week in our Berlin office . As a Technical Artist, you will act as the bridge between art and engineering — translating visual intentions into optimized systems, scalable pipelines, and tools that empower the whole team to create. As a team with an indie mindset, we are not adherent to a stringent hierarchy and set of processes… if you know a better way to do something, bring that to the table, discuss, and set a new direction with art leadership.
