What You'll Do

Epic is looking for a Principal Technical FX Artist to join Rocket League, a live-service game with a huge passionate fanbase. You'll own FX systems, solve hard technical problems, and set the visual and technical standard for how effects work across the game. You're someone who gets energized by constraints, thinks in systems, and loves the moment when a gnarly technical problem becomes a beautiful effect in the build.

In this role, you will

• Drive VFX systems and quality, design reusable, scalable solutions that support rapid iteration and long-term production across gameplay, cosmetics, and arena systems

• Author outstanding real-time effects across a range of styles, from grounded and physical to high-energy and stylized

• Collaborate with Tech Art and Engineering to define performance budgets and hit them without sacrificing visual quality

• Prototype and validate new VFX workflows

• Set the quality bar, defining what "good" looks like for the team

• Mentor and elevate artists across disciplines; raise the floor and the ceiling
