About the job : 
 

We’re looking for a Senior FX Artist with strong Unreal Engine expertise to design and deliver real-time, stylized visual effects for our animated feature film.

  • Define the FX style in collaboration with the Lookdev and FX Supervisors, aligning with the film’s artistic direction

  • Support FX integration during both lookdev and shot production phases

  • Build gameplay-style logic and reusable systems that support FX interactivity

  • Ensure FX are optimized for real-time performance, maintaining both efficiency and artistic fidelity

  • Collaborate across departments (Layout, Animation, Lighting) to ensure seamless integration




Must have :
 

  • Proven experience crafting real-time FX in Unreal for animation, cinematics, or games

  • Advanced knowledge of Niagara, Blueprint, and shader authoring (HLSL or Material Editor)

  • Strong artistic sensibility, with a knack for stylized visual language

  • Solid understanding of performance constraints and optimization techniques in real-time production

  • Proactive, collaborative, and comfortable working in a multi-disciplinary environment

  • Good communication skills in English are a plus—our team works in both French and English
