Netflix is building a new internal game studio to incubate and build a new class of hilarious, social party video games.

The 3D Generalist will work with a new cross-discipline core team to create assets, environments, and textures, iterating towards a new game vision on an exciting, highly stylized party game available to Netflix members.

A successful candidate will be an excellent 3D Artist who can create a wide variety of assets, environments, textures, and animation. They should be able to work with current established game styles, and feel at home in 3D but also have solid stylized 2D texturing skills. Having a good knowledge of game development pipelines, and relevant engines such as Unity and its animation tools is a huge plus. We have a highly collaborative environment, this role will work closely with the Senior 3D artist, Art director, designers and engineers to build the vision of this game. We would love to see candidates who can solve visual problems, be self motivated and be collaborative and demonstrate good ability to intuitively understand style and work with established pipelines.

You’ll be joining a small, scrappy team with big ambitions, and an obsession to create memorable game moments that leave players telling their own stories for years to come. We’re looking for new teammates who care deeply about the experiences they create and the people they make them with. Those who bias towards action and are energized by the learning that comes with bold experimentation at an agile pace. As a part of Netflix, we strive to hire the best and value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Now is an amazing time to join Netflix Game Studio as we seek to entertain our 200 million paid members in a really new way.
