Senior Technical Artist - Console/PC Studio – Hybrid or Remote
We have partnered with a Console Studio based in Sheffield, who are currently looking for a Senior Technical Artist to join their growing team to help work on their next project. The team are made up of award-winning developers who have come from AAA backgrounds and have a history of releasing a range of high-quality games, some of which have been adored in the games industry over the years.
As the Senior Technical Artist, you will collaborate heavily with the Head of Art, to help with bridging the gap between artists and engineers, ensuring an efficient art pipeline and optimised game. You’ll also help with building art pipelines, shaders, tools, optimization, rendering, lighting, materials, animations and scene setup to name a few! The most important thing, is someone who has worked closely with Characters, helping achieve human realism when it comes to human movement and combat.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As the Senior in this team, you will have the opportunity to showcase your skills and wear multiple hats, if you are a tools/pipeline/hardware/graphics specialist or a generalist, there will be an opportunity to develop your disciplines and skills.
In return the studio can offer benefits such as:
- Flexible working hours
- Private healthcare (which includes dental)
- A decent holiday package with 2 additional duvet days
- Free onsite parking
- Extended paternity/maternity leave
- Company outings
- A Christmas Shutdown that doesn’t come out of your holiday allowance!
Also, the chance to work with games industry veterans who have a great track record of delivering high profile successful projects.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
