Senior CG Artist / Environment Designer (Realtime 3D) – Full-Time

NSYNK is looking for a Senior CG Artist / Environment Designer (m/w/d) with an exceptional eye for detail and strong design sensibility—someone who can craft realtime worlds that feel intentional, premium, and emotionally resonant. In this role, you shape the visual quality of our mixed reality applications, shows, event, and installation work, translating creative direction into environments that are cinematic, immersive, and technically reliable. Your main tools are Unreal Engine or Unity, a 3D software of your choice and tools for texturing. Houdini is a strong plus. AI curiosity is welcome.

Your mission

Worldbuilding & Environment Ownership
You lead realtime environment creation—from blockout to final polish—ensuring strong composition, scale, atmosphere, and spatial storytelling.
Design-Led Look Development:
You bring outstanding visual taste and design rigor to every frame: composition, lighting, color, material language, set dressing, and negative space. You make environments read instantly and feel curated—not generic.
Detail & Craft:
You push the last 10%: micro-details, material breakups, prop placement, believable wear, rhythm and repetition control, silhouette, depth cues, and scene readability. You spot what’s “off” quickly and know how to fix it.
Realtime Performance & Show-Readiness:
You deliver environments that run reliably in demanding contexts (events, installations, MR). You manage budgets (FPS, memory, draw calls) and optimize intelligently without compromising the core look.
Asset Creation, Curation & Integration:
You build and curate modular kits, hero props, decals/trim sheets, and dressing systems. You maintain clean asset standards (naming, folder structure, LODs, texel density) and ensure smooth Unreal integration.
Collaboration & Mentorship:
You collaborate closely with creative direction, technical direction, and development—and raise the bar through feedback, standards, and hands-on support.
(Nice to have) Procedural Workflows:
You use Houdini to scale environment production—terrain, scattering, variations, simulations—and ideally connect procedural workflows to Unreal pipelines (Houdini Engine).
(Nice to have) AI-Enabled Workflows:
You explore practical AI workflows that accelerate iteration (concept support, variation workflows, automation) and have a general interest in exploring new possibilities and researching their use.

Your Profile

Senior Portfolio & Taste:
Several years of professional experience as a CG Artist / Environment Designer with a portfolio that clearly demonstrates design sensibility, composition, lighting mastery, and polished detail (realtime preferred).
Realtime Engine Expertise:
Strong working knowledge of Unreal Engine and/or Unity. You understand lighting pipelines (Lumen/baked), materials, and performance constraints.
High-End Visual Craft:
You have an excellent eye for composition, color, mood, and material language—able to maintain a consistent world “grammar” across scenes and projects.
Production Discipline:
You work cleanly and systematically: modular workflows, UV/texel density discipline, LOD strategy, instancing, profiling, documentation, and version control (Git/Plastic).
Tool Fluency:
Proficient with standard DCC and texturing workflows (e.g., Blender/Maya/3ds Max, Substance, Adobe) and effective use of asset libraries when appropriate.
Curiosity & Vision: You’re hungry for what’s next. You love emerging tech, but know how to use it meaningfully.
Multilingual Communication: You feel confident working in both German and Englisch
