# Lead Lighting Artist at 2K

You'll lead 2K's Cloud Chamber lighting team, overseeing a group of artists while establishing and maintaining the visual quality standards for real-time lighting in an upcoming BioShock title. This role combines hands-on technical expertise with team leadership—you'll mentor artists, collaborate with the Art Director and core technology teams, develop optimized workflows, and ensure lighting delivers both artistic vision and runtime performance across immersive in-game environments and cinematics.

The ideal candidate brings 7+ years of real-time lighting experience with at least one shipped AAA title as a Lead Artist. You'll need deep proficiency in Unreal Engine 5, Lumen tools, UE Sequencer, and physically based rendering principles, plus proven success lighting high-fidelity cinematics while maintaining performance budgets. Beyond technical chops, you're an effective manager who can recruit, mentor, and retain talented artists while fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration.

This is a full-time position based in Novato, California. You're someone who thrives as a collaborative partner, comfortable navigating production timelines and strategic priorities while championing the high standards expected of AAA game development.
