3D Technical Artist
Join Our Team as a 3D Technical Artist at Beyond Sports
Hi, I’m Michael Visser, Head of the Studio team here at Beyond Sports Alkmaar, and I’m excited to invite you to consider joining us as a 3D Technical Artist.
If you’re a creative developer who loves working with Virtual and Augmented Reality in sports, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to translate design concepts into engaging experiences, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
What Your Day Will Look Like
As a 3D Technical Artist at Beyond Sports, you’ll play a vital role in creating and implementing the visual assets that drive our sports experiences. You will be responsible for creating high-quality art assets and ensuring they work seamlessly within the game engine.
Each day, you’ll collaborate with developers and senior artists to deliver exciting art features. You’ll be hands-on: creating large environments using modular approaches, modeling assets in Blender, and setting them up in Unity.
You will work to ensure our assets are efficient and reliable. Whether you are refining PBR materials, optimising meshes for better performance, or organizing the asset library for the rest of the team, you’ll be an essential part of bringing our visual concepts to life.
What We Value
At Beyond Sports, we move fast, aim high, and never settle. We believe in creativity, technical excellence, and ownership, giving you the freedom to innovate while supporting you with a team that’s as passionate as you are.
You’ll fit right in if you:
Love creating high-quality assets that look great and run smoothly.
Are collaborative and open-minded, you enjoy working with devs and designers to solve problems.
Thrive in a multidisciplinary environment where you can iterate quickly on prototypes.
Take pride in maintaining a clean, organised, and efficient asset library.
Are eager to learn new techniques and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
This role is based on-site at our Alkmaar office (32-40 hours per week). You’ll need to be living in the Netherlands and eligible to work in the EU.
Tech Stack and Skill Requirements
You don’t need to tick every box, but here’s what we’re looking for:
Experience: 2-3 years in Unity (Unreal is a plus) and 2+ years in Blender.
Portfolio: A solid portfolio showcasing your shaders, vfx simulations and any tech art tools
Core Skills: Strong grasp of PBR workflows and experience implementing assets (meshes, animations, materials).
Optimisation: Experience optimising game assets for performance (GPU and CPU).
Environment Art: Ability to create environments via modular/kit-bash approaches.
Troubleshooting: Ability to identify errors and fix asset issues within the engine.
Bonus: A good understanding of lighting in Unity and experience with C# is a major plus .
Note: Knowledge and love for sports is not required!
