About the Company

Proletariat Inc. was founded in 2012 by a group of game-industry veterans from Harmonix, Turbine, and Insomniac who were hell-bent on pushing the boundaries of multiplayer games while demanding a level of quality unheard of for a small studio.

On its way to attracting 4+ million players across the world, it went on to be named to Apple’s “Best of 2015” list and developed a reputation for AAA quality and depth to the mobile MMO landscape.

Today, we continue to work toward our studio's mission to deliver groundbreaking multiplayer titles focused on outstanding audience-first experiences. Our next AAA-quality game built on these principles is the currently in-development Spellbreak, a battle royale RPG with epic spellcasting that is now in Closed Alpha.

Job Description

A world without real-time vfx is functional, but not magical.  It’s easy to overlook when you’re in a rush (or to pass off to that person over there who’s not half bad and has freed up a little before the next sprint).  But we know that if you want to capitalize “wow” and put an exclamation point after it, you need people on the team who are focused on bringing that magic or touch of realism to every project we do.  
You are that person!

You’ll work with a lot of other skilled people in other disciplines to bring your talents to all our projects.  We work in Unity and Unreal and we use Houdini/Maya/Max as appropriate. Naturally, someone who understands the fun and physics of particle systems, simulations, and animation, don’t have too much of a challenge moving between them all, but naturally, you’ve got your preferences, and we want to facilitate them to create the best experience.

Though we’ve delivered a lot of crazy stuff, here are a few you can check out at home:

• Mission:ISS
• Disney Pixar Coco VR

Skills & Requirements

Responsibilities

• You will be expected to create the highest quality real-time visual effects, both in appearance and performance, while adhering to the project’s artistic vision
• Collaborate closely with engineering, design, animation and art teams to create beautiful and believable effects that offer creative solutions to design challenges, add life to the game world, and create wow moments for the users
• Responsible for a variety of aspects of real-time vfx production from creation & simulation all the way through optimization and quality assurance.
• You will work in the engine and own both the technical and creative processes

Baseline

• 3+ years of production experience using game engines to create  real-time VFX with a supporting body of work.
• 3+ years of experience in Unity/Unreal or equivalent real-time platform.
• Experience in using the Unity Visual Effects Graph and/or Unreal Niagra or equivalent node based real-time vfx editing tool to create creative fx with a supporting reel
• A general understanding of animation/modeling/texturing and instancing pipelines
• Excellent sense of scale, timing, detail, form, texture and color
• Ability to technically deconstruct visual effects from other game and film references
• Deadline conscious.  Being able to manage and organize work to meet all of the deadlines and ability to adapt when changes need to happen

Bonus Points

• Ability to skip the engines and go straight to the GPU when necessary in order to blow minds more efficiently.
• Experience in Houdini, including digital assets for Houdini Engine in Unity/Unreal/Maya
• The ability to read and write shader source code using HLSL or GLSL
• Past experience working with VR/AR content and understanding what makes them unique and challenging
• Desire to make the world not suck
