Senior Technical/Shader Artists

“As recently announced in a blog post, Meta is embarking on an exciting journey to build a new spatial app framework. This innovative platform supports an open ecosystem and empowers mobile developers to create cutting-edge immersive experiences.
Developers can use the tools they already know to bring their mobile apps to Meta Horizon OS or create entirely immersive apps.
Hence, I am looking to hire talented artists to join my incredible team in EMEA, either remotely from Europe or on-site in London KX.
Specifically, I am looking for TWO Senior Technical/Shader Artists with at least five-plus years of game experience. The candidates should be proficient in shader writing (HLSL, MaterialX, etc.) and strong in assets/scene optimization.” -Davide La Sala
