Amsterdam Game Studios Hiring Technical Artists
Amsterdam’s studios run some of the most technically advanced art pipelines in the industry, requiring specialist TA expertise:
Guerrilla Games Uses the Decima Engine and Needs TAs Who Can Adapt
Guerrilla Games uses its proprietary Decima engine, also used by Death Stranding. TAs with proprietary engine experience or who can adapt to custom pipelines are highly valued. Nixxes Software needs TAs for performance optimization across PlayStation hardware and PC. Strong shader authoring, pipeline scripting, and cross-platform optimization experience are all critical.
