At ArenaNet, we’ve always believed that games are art. They have the power to communicate ideas and tell stories. They can change the way we think, reflect our cultures, and move us. As the developer of the award-winning Guild Wars game series, we’re proud to share our passion for the online worlds we’ve created with over 11 million players worldwide.
ArenaNet develops and publishes games for every kind of person, which means our games need to be built by every kind of person. We believe the best experiences come from working together, celebrating differences, and helping each of our team members shine.
We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Technical Artist to join our dynamic team, with a strong focus on rigging for games. The ideal candidate will have experience in supporting characters and creatures through rigging, as well as in creating and maintaining tools and pipelines. As a Senior Technical Artist, you will design, create, and maintain complex character rigs, secondary motion systems, and animation systems to bring our characters to life. You will engage in continuous research and development of new techniques for driving skeletons, blend-shapes, and custom deformers through advanced control rigs. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with Character Artists and Animators, providing support and addressing feedback to achieve the best visual results in the game.
