This is a full-time, experienced position for a veteran artist passionate about elevating the visual fidelity and atmospheric depth of next-generation gaming experiences. This role offers the unique opportunity to work directly within the custom lighting pipelines that drive massive, globally recognized titles, all while contributing to and refining the studio’s proprietary technology. The successful candidate will be a pivotal figure in realizing the artistic vision of Certain Affinity’s projects. This necessitates a strong partnership with Project Art Directors, ensuring that the environmental and cinematic lighting not only meets but amplifies their high-level aesthetic goals. It’s a role that transcends simple illumination; it is about visually defining mood, tone, and narrative context. As a Senior Advanced Lighting Artist, you will be relied upon to work seamlessly with artists across multiple disciplines—including concept, environment, materials, and VFX—to weave together cohesive, stunning in-game and cinematic content. Certain Affinity is looking for someone who doesn’t just apply light, but who possesses a profound understanding of color theory, atmospherics, and post-processing to create truly next-level imagery that captivates players.

This technical mastery ensures the game reliably recreates the intended look guided by the art direction across all relevant platforms.
