About the job
Join our dynamic Technical Art Team at Riot Games as a Senior Tools & Pipeline Technical Artist, where you will establish robust pipelines and foundations essential for our content creation and development objectives. Your extensive expertise in technical art tools and adept problem-solving skills will enable you to spearhead best practices and processes related to pipelines, workflows, rigs, animation, cinematic techniques, and all facets of asset production. You will be a hands-on contributor, leading by example and ensuring excellence in execution.
In this pivotal role, you will significantly influence Riot’s art content creation pipelines by gaining a deep understanding of creator workflows across various projects. You will identify opportunities to adopt, evolve, and innovate pipeline solutions that are shareable across the organization. Working closely with artists, technical artists, and engineers, you will assess existing tools and pipelines, pinpoint common challenges and redundancies, and determine whether to adopt existing solutions or develop new tools and workflows. You will operate autonomously, conducting research, implementing, and iterating on both existing and new solutions to enhance creator efficiency, quality, and sustainability.
Over time, you will cultivate your status as a trusted expert on Riot’s art pipelines, influencing standards, best practices, and long-term technical directions across projects. You will also play a crucial role in exploring AI-assisted content creation, aiding in the prototyping, validation, and guidance of workflows where AI can meaningfully enhance production outcomes. You will report directly to the Technical Art Director.
