Technical Artist

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Meshy is the leading 3D generative AI company on a mission to Unleash 3D Creativity by transforming the content creation pipeline. Meshy makes it effortless for both professional artists and hobbyists to create unique 3D assets—turning text and images into stunning 3D models in just minutes. What once took weeks and cost $1,000 now takes just 2 minutes and $1.

Our world-class team of top experts in computer graphics, AI, and art includes alumni from MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley, as well as veterans from Nvidia and Microsoft. Our talent spans the globe, with team members distributed across North America, Asia, and Oceania, fostering a diverse and innovative multi-regional culture focused on solving global 3D challenges. Meshy is trusted by top developers, backed by premiere venture capital firms like Sequoia and GGV, and has successfully raised $52 Million in funding.

Meshy is the market leader, recognized as the No.1 in popularity among 3D AI tools (according to 2024 A16Z Games) and No.1 in website traffic (according to SimilarWeb, with 3 Million monthly visits). The platform boasts over 5 Million users and has generated 40 Million models.

Founder and CEO Yuanming (Ethan) Hu earned his Ph.D. in graphics and AI from MIT, where he developed the acclaimed Taichi GPU programming language (27K stars on GitHub, used by 300 institutes). His work is highly influential, including an honorable mention for the SIGGRAPH 2022 Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award and over 2,700 research citations.

About the Role

What You’ll Do:

• Build future's 3D tool: Develop 3D creative workflow features based on generative AI, including but not limited to interactive editing tools, character animation, procedural asset generation, etc.
• Make AI-generated assets truly production-ready: Maintain and improve geometry, texture, material, and animation pipelines for 3D asset generation.
• Become the go-to expert for creative solutions: collaborate with art, product, and research teams to design 3D GenAI technical solutions for our users in various industries.

What We're looking for:

• You are deeply interested in using GenAI to make artists 10 times more creative and powerful!
• You have at least 2 years of practical experience in a CG-related field such as rendering, geometry, game, or film production and a bachelor's degree or above in either STEM or art. Course, internship, or hobby projects also count!
• You enjoy combining your aesthetic sense and technical expertise.
• You have a solid understanding on the basics of computer graphics, such as mesh topology, UV mapping, texture sampling, or skeletal animation.
• You are familiar with Python and C programming and have built internal art tools or plugins.  
• You are familiar with 3D content creation tools (Blender, ZBrush, Houdini) and have worked on 3D art projects.

Nice to have:

• You're great at speaking the languages of different roles, with the fluency to explain graphics technology concepts to non-technical team members, as well as to tranlate art directions into technical requirements.
• You understand concepts in generative AI or machine learning, and have applied 3D generative AI in your own projects.
• You have experience in Web3D (WebGL, WebGPU, WebAssembly) stack and developed 3D editing web apps.
• Rare but super helpful: You developed and maintained animation, geometry, or other 3D features in a production-level 3D content creation tool.
