About the role

We are looking for a curious, fast-moving 3D Generalist to join our 3D/Visualization team. You will work across the full 3D pipeline: modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, animation, and real-time, to create the visuals that bring Saronic's vessels, systems, and environments to life. You will be hands-on from day one, shipping work that appears in customer briefings, events, product films, and across the company. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 1–3 years of professional experience in 3D (in-house, studio, freelance, or equivalent), or an exceptional portfolio from school or personal projects that shows the same level of skill
  • A strong portfolio showing end-to-end 3D work: modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and animation, with attention to craft and realism
  • Proficiency in Cinema 4D or Blender, plus a physically based renderer (Redshift, Octane, Cycles, or similar)
  • Experience with texturing and material tools such as Substance 3D Painter/Designer, and familiarity with procedural texturing
  • Working knowledge of a real-time engine, such as Unreal Engine or Unity
  • Solid fundamentals in form, composition, lighting, color, and camera
