Teams at Studio Wildcard

Own the technical health and live state of ARK’s PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Debug and implement mid-complexity C/C++ fixes in Unreal Engine, manage the console issue backlog, assess player impact and technical risk, escalate critical problems, and coordinate with QA and external teams on verification, deployment, and non-programming fixes. The role includes supporting live firefighting, core PST hours, and critical launch periods.

Design, implement, and optimize core rendering systems in Unreal Engine 5 for massive open-world gameplay. Profile and fix GPU bottlenecks, author shaders, manage VRAM budgets for consoles, integrate upscaling/frame generation, collaborate with art and animation teams, build tooling, and investigate low-level rendering crashes and performance issues.

The Technical Artist will solve technical art problems, optimize assets, integrate gameplay elements, and improve art pipelines for the ARK franchise.
