Job Description:
Why Triarts?
We are a tight-knit team of RTS Veterans building the game we’ve always wanted to play. Triarts is an indie studio with a AAA mindset. We combine the agility and friendliness of a small team with the technical rigor of a major production. We are a passionate group of developers dedicated to revitalizing the genre we love. We believe in a workspace where common sense rules, "crunch" is a failure of planning, and the best idea wins regardless of your title.
Join the team building Defcon Zero
Come define the look of the next generation of RTS. We are looking for a Senior 3D Artist for Defcon Zero, our flagship strategy title. It’s a gritty, high-fidelity RTS built on Unreal Engine 5.
We are looking for a veteran artist who combines exceptional craftsmanship with technical insight. You will be responsible for creating the game’s most complex assets, serving as the visual benchmark for the rest of the production. Beyond individual contribution, you will help define the aesthetic and provide guidance to the wider team to help elevate the overall quality of the game.
What you will do
- Create complex, high-fidelity hard surface and organic assets that serve as visual benchmarks for the project.
- Execute the full asset creation pipeline with autonomy and high efficiency, from high-poly modeling to final PBR texturing.
- Provide technical guidance and artistic feedback to junior team members to help resolve blockers and improve quality.
- Solve complex modeling and texturing challenges while adhering to strict performance budgets.
- Proactively identify pipeline issues and collaborate with leads to improve asset creation workflows.
- Maintain exceptional topology standards and file organization to ensure smooth downstream integration.
REQUIREMENTS
Technical Qualifications:
- 3+ years of professional experience in the game industry with at least one shipped PC or Console title.
- Exceptional portfolio showcasing high-fidelity modeling and PBR texturing in a realistic and grounded style.
- Expert proficiency in Autodesk Maya, Substance painter and photoshop.
- Previous experience mentoring artists or providing technical guidance to a small team.
- Strong eye for detail, form, proportions, and silhouette, with an ability to elevate the visual quality of the team’s work.
- Proven ability to maintain strict topology standards and vertex budgets without sacrificing visual quality.
- Fluent in English (Written and Spoken).
Nice to Have:
- Experience with Unreal Engine 5 workflows and asset implementation.
- Basic understanding of rigging pipelines and animation requirements.
- Experience using Substance Designer for procedural texturing.
- Knowledge in ZBrush for organic sculpting.
- Genuine passion for RTS games and the strategy genre.
- Proficiency in Hebrew is a plus.
Who You Are:
- Demonstrate high autonomy, taking ownership of complex tasks, while remaining receptive to direction and valuing feedback.
- Combine artistic excellence with a pragmatic, problem-solving mindset to overcome technical constraints and help the team.
- Thrive in an agile environment where adapting to new workflows is part of the creative process.
- Exhibit a relentless hunger for self-improvement, constantly staying updated on the latest industry tools.
WHAT WE OFFER
- The Forefront of PC Dev: Break away from the mobile market. Join one of the few studios in Israel dedicated to building high-fidelity, hardcore PC strategy games using the latest Unreal Engine tech.
- Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy the best of both worlds with a flexible model that balances in-studio collaboration with work-from-home focus time.
- A Veteran Team: Work alongside passionate developers who care deeply about the RTS genre and hold themselves to high artistic and technical standards.
- Growth Potential: Grow alongside the studio. As Defcon Zero expands, so does your influence and responsibility.
- Direct Impact: You aren't just a number in a massive hierarchy. Your work will directly shape the final game, and your contributions will be visible on screen.
- Collaborative Culture: Join a dedicated group of passionate gamers and artists. We cultivate a workspace that balances a friendly, grounded atmosphere with the rigorous professional standards required to ship a top-tier title.
