General Motors
Senior / Staff Technical Artist – Materials, Lighting & Procedural Environments
USA - Sunnyvale, CA - Remote
We’re looking for a Senior Technical Artist – Materials, Shading & FX to help build the virtual worlds our AV stack learns from.
You will own the physically based material and FX pipeline for our simulation engines: designing procedural shaders, authoring photorealistic materials, building a scalable material library, and creating weather and water FX that behave realistically at city scale. Procedural environment experience is a plus, especially if combined with strong C++ skills.
You’ll partner closely with content, rendering, simulation, and perception teams to ensure our worlds both look real and behave consistently for sensors and ML models.
fashionISTA
Patternmaker
European Union - Remote
From Sylwia Szymczyk
We're growing fast, we need someone who can keep up.
You've spent 5+ years inside a structured brand.
Not a small studio - a real PD machine.
You've made the patterns, talked to manufacturers, sat through fittings, made the amendments, lived the cycle.
You know what good looks like, and you know what's broken.
Now you want to see patternmaking from the other side.
At fashionINSTA, you won't be making patterns.
You'll help brands change how they make them.
Here's what working with us actually looks like:
→ Priorities change daily. What you're doing on Monday might not exist by Friday. We don't run standups. We don't keep Trello boards. We produce the code, and our developers make it viable.
→ You'll learn vibecoding. Not to become a developer - to speak the same language as the people building the platform. If that sounds intimidating instead of exciting, this isn't the role.
→ You'll learn more in 6 months than you have in the last 5 years. That's a promise, not a perk.
What we're looking for:
→ Patternmaking foundation from a structured brand
→ Comfortable with ambiguity, change, and high tempo
→ You challenge the status quo - including your own
→ Curious about how AI-driven patternmaking actually works under the hood
What we offer:
→ Full-time contract
→ Fully remote, CET preferred
→ 3 months to try it both ways. Permanent if we fit.
Parallel Domain
Principal Technical Artist
Canada - Vancouver - Remote
Before an autonomous vehicle navigates a busy intersection, before a robot learns to pick and place in a warehouse, before any Physical AI system is trusted in the real world, it has to prove itself in ours. Parallel Domain builds the platform that validates the next generation of autonomous systems in high-fidelity virtual environments.
Our content and rendering pipeline is how that platform earns its credibility with customers. The virtual environments we build have to hold up under physical, geometric, and sensor-level scrutiny—they are the testbeds against which our customers’ autonomous systems are validated. Building environments at that level of fidelity and scale demands techniques that go beyond a typical AAA game pipeline. Gaussian splat scene reconstruction, neural rendering, AI-assisted content workflows, and modern procedural systems are reshaping what a tech artist’s day looks like.
We’re hiring a Principal Technical Artist to bring the next generation of these workflows into production at Parallel Domain. This is a senior individual contributor role: you’ll work alongside our rendering, simulation, and content engineers on open-ended content and pipeline problems. You’ll move fluently between Unreal Engine, Houdini, Python, shader code, and modern AI tooling, and your judgment will shape how our team builds the environments that train and validate autonomous systems.
Responsibilities
Own the technical content stack. End to end: asset pipelines, procedural tooling, material systems, performance budgets, and content validation that turn an artist’s intent into a production-ready scene.
Build and ship tools. Deliver tooling in Unreal Engine and Houdini that makes the content team measurably faster. We care less about the elegance of the tool and more about whether artists are using it next quarter to ship work they couldn’t ship before.
Drive AI-augmented workflows. Bring modern techniques into content creation: gaussian splat scene reconstruction, neural texture synthesis, ML-assisted asset generation, and the next wave of techniques as they emerge. Hold an opinionated view on where these tools belong in a production pipeline and where they don’t.
Optimize real-time performance. Profile and optimize across GPU and CPU in Unreal Engine, supporting both interactive use and large-scale batch simulation. Identify bottlenecks, codify the fixes as patterns, and make sure the team isn’t relearning the same lessons every six months.
Work across disciplines. Operate as connective tissue across content, rendering, simulation, ML, and product. Translate between disciplines, broker tradeoffs between content fidelity and runtime performance, and make sure the systems we build hang together.
Set the craft bar. We’re not asking you to manage people, but we expect you to lead by example on the craft side. Your work should make the people around you better at theirs.
Move quickly. Ship into production early and often. Many of the problems you’ll work on don’t have a known answer—your job is to scope the unknown, prototype something that works, and harden it from there.
Use AI tooling actively. LLM-assisted coding, scripting, and asset generation can meaningfully accelerate the work when applied well. We expect fluency here and active contribution to the team’s practice.
