# Artiste VFX Senior / Senior VFX Artist at 2K

Gearbox Studio Québec (part of 2K) is seeking an experienced Senior VFX Artist to join their effects team in Montréal. You'll collaborate directly with the visual effects director, art directors, and designers to craft world-class special effects that push the technical and creative boundaries of Unreal Engine 5, Xbox, and PlayStation. Your work will span multiple game titles across their acclaimed franchises including Borderlands and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.

Day-to-day responsibilities include building real-time particle systems, crafting elegant materials in UE5, generating memory-efficient textures using tools like Photoshop, Substance Designer, Houdini, or Embergen, and occasionally creating basic 3D models and UV mapping. You'll participate in implementation meetings to ensure visual effects communicate gameplay concepts while meeting artistic targets, working closely with technical leadership to establish production processes that respect the game's technical constraints.

This role requires six years of professional VFX experience in games with at least two shipped multiplatform titles. Essential skills include proficiency in Unreal and Houdini, plus working knowledge of 3DS Max or Maya, Substance Designer, and Photoshop. You should understand console performance limitations, general art pipeline workflows in game studios, and how individual contributions impact frame rate targets. A collaborative mindset, problem-solving aptitude, and enthusiasm for refining production methods round out the ideal candidate profile.
