Lead Technical Artist (Unity, C#)

Cubic Games is a development studio within the GDEV holding. We've grown from a small team into a leading game development studio with over 120 specialists. Our mission is to create unique pixel-style games, including the popular Pixel Gun 3D, which attracts over 5 million monthly active players.

We’re looking for a tech wizard — a graphics, simulation, and rendering guru.
If you love squeezing every drop of FPS and visual beauty out of a scene packed with millions of particles, fire, water, glass, and fully destructible environments — you’re our person.
You know exactly how light should fall, how reflections should stay smooth, and how to keep shaders from murdering performance.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead the technical art direction of the project — from VFX to UI and animation.

• Develop and integrate shaders, render features, and the entire graphics pipeline (Unity, C#, URP).

• Configure and optimize lighting, reflections, and shadows — always with cross-platform performance in mind.

• Optimize rendering, framerate, memory usage, assets, audio, animations, and UI.

• Build tools and automation for artists, animators, VFX, and UI teams.

• Implement solutions for LOD, BRG, instancing, and memory management.

• Collaborate closely with programmers and game designers.

• Build and grow the team’s technical art expertise.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience with Unity and C#.

• Experience in multiplayer projects, ideally shooters.

• Deep understanding of rendering, lighting, reflections, and post-processing.

• Strong shader skills (Shader Graph / HLSL) and GPU/CPU profiling.

• Experience with particle systems, fluids, smoke, and destruction effects.

• Skilled in optimizing VFX, UI, audio, and animations.

• Experience building internal tools for art teams.

• Proven track record with mobile, consoles, and handhelds (Steam Deck, Switch, etc.).

• Strong communication skills, initiative, and the ability to explain complex concepts clearly.

• A GitHub portfolio or sample work is a big plus.

What we offer:

• Official employment according to the Labor Code of Armenia or Cyprus, or a remote work contract.
• Flexibility in choosing the workplace: remote work or visiting offices in Armenia or Cyprus as desired.
• Relocation package and assistance with obtaining residence permits in Armenia, including for family members.
• 21 working days of vacation, 3 additional days off per year, and sick leave compensation up to 100%.
• Comprehensive Health Insurance from the first working day in Armenia or Cyprus.
• Professional Development Support:  course, conferences, and opportunities to participate in department workshops and masterclasses.
• Corporate online and offline events and presents for various holidays.
