Job Title : Technical Artist – R&D
Location : Bangalore
Team : Mobile Engineering
About the Role
We’re on the hunt for a Research-Oriented Technical Artist—someone who doesn’t just use creative tools, but scripts them, bends them, and builds new workflows from scratch. This isn’t about production pipelines. It’s about pushing visual boundaries in Mixed Reality, through experimentation, custom rendering, and procedural creativity.If you love writing shaders, automating pipelines in Blender or Houdini, and dreaming up visuals no one’s seen before, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Do
- Prototype new visuals, effects, and rendering methods for MR
- Write custom shaders (GLSL, HLSL, OSL, Shader Graph, etc.)
- Script and automate workflows in Blender, Maya, Houdini, or similar DCCs
- Apply deep understanding of 2D / 3D rendering concepts — lighting,materials, post-effects
- Collaborate with developers and designers to bring ideas to life across MR devices
- Explore the visual language of MR — invent new aesthetics and interaction paradigms
What We’re Looking For
2–5+ years as a Technical Artist, Shader Artist, or Visual R&D SpecialistStrong grasp of real-time and offline rendering fundamentalsProficient in scripting inside Blender (Python), Maya (MEL / Python), Houdini(VEX / HScript), or similarAbility to write and debug custom shadersA creative technologist mindset — experimental, curious, cross-disciplinaryDeep interest in Mixed Reality, spatial design, or immersive visualsBonus Points For
Experience with MR frameworks (ARKit / ARCore / WebXR)Procedural content creation (Geometry Nodes, Houdini networks, etc.)Familiarity with creative AI workflows (e.g. generative visuals, neural rendering)Public portfolio, GitHub, ShaderToy, or custom tools you’ve built or sharedWhy Flam?
Work on zero-to-one projects at the frontier of MRCollaborate with a world-class, creatively fearless teamAccess to the latest devices, rendering tech, and spatial toolsFreedom to experiment, fail fast, and invent what comes nextCompetitive salary, meaningful equity, and ownership from day oneHow to Apply
Send us anything you’re proud of - a shader, a tool, a visual experiment, a weird Blender script that only you understand.
