You’ll ensure the health and optimal performance of content through analysis and validation of that content, including your own shaders and materials. You’ll be reporting to the Technical Art Manager on TFT, and working closely with several other TAs on the team
For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players.
