VFX Artist
We're looking for a Real-Time VFX Artist to join Axiom VFX
Axiom VFX is a global creative studio specializing in real-time production, VFX, and technical art. We work with game studios and entertainment companies worldwide, and we have an exciting AAA project coming up that we can't talk about just yet — but the scope, quality bar, and creative ambition are exactly what you'd want on your reel.
We're looking for a VFX artist who takes the craft seriously. Someone who obsesses over the read of an effect at 60fps, knows when a simulation needs to be a texture sheet, and can push visual quality without blowing a budget.
What you'll be doing
Working on real-time VFX across gameplay effects, environmental atmosphere, weapons, abilities, and hero moments. You'll collaborate closely with engineers, technical artists, and art leads, integrating into existing pipelines from day one.
What we're looking for
Strong Niagara experience and solid UE5 knowledge
Comfortable working in both artistic and technical contexts — shaders, material functions, performance budgets
A portfolio that shows range and quality: polished hero effects alongside systemic, gameplay-driven work
Attention to detail that shows in every frame — timing, scale, color, silhouette
Self-directed, async-friendly, able to work across time zones
Senior level preferred, open to the right mid-level candidate
What we need:
✅ +3 years in game dev / real-time VFX
✅ Proven Unreal Engine experience (Niagara, Blueprints, Materials)
✅ PBR, optimization & shader/render expertise
✅ Comfortable working async across time zones
✅ Online portfolio (ArtStation, personal site, or reel — required)
✅ Up-to-date resume / CV
Nice to have:
⭐ HLSL / custom shader experience
⭐ AAA or film VFX background
⭐ C++ for tools or plugins
⭐ Houdini & Substance
What we offer
Work on an upcoming AAA production alongside leads with shipped titles at BioWare, Lucasfilm, and Insomniac
A studio where VFX quality is non-negotiable, not an afterthought
Remote, flexible engagement — full-time or contract
Direct access to senior leadership and a tight, experienced team
