We require a minimum of 2 years of credited games industry experience, a solid understanding of color theory, the ability to setup and manage complex lighting networks in Maya, and take on shifting technical challenges that usually come up before deadlines.

We prefer candidates with other conventional lighting experiences, prior experience with vertex lighting for games, and ability to create and use simple Mel scripts.
