This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Pipeline Technical Artist in Ireland.

This is a highly technical and cross-functional role at the intersection of pipeline engineering and game development, focused on building and maintaining robust digital content creation workflows. You will act as the central technical authority for DCC tools, ensuring smooth integration across rigging, modeling, animation, and environment art disciplines. The role requires both deep technical expertise and strong interpersonal skills to align multiple teams around shared standards and tool ownership. You will be responsible for consolidating fragmented tools into a unified, reliable pipeline that supports efficient content creation. Operating in a fully remote, collaborative game development environment, you will help shape how artists interact with core production tools. This is a key individual contributor position where communication and coordination are as critical as coding ability.
