Summary about this job

Detail information about job 3D Graphic Artist - Permanent role. Terms and conditions vacancy

• Model and animate in 3D for a mini-game that is easy for people, hard for bots
• Fight an epic battle against spammers, scalpers, and trolls
• Join a well-managed workplace culture of innovation and high performance

We believe the Internet should serve legitimate users, not parasites, so we develop the security solution FunCaptcha. FunCaptcha replaces the much-hated method that makes users "prove their humanity" by deciphering blurry letters and photos. Instead, it poses a clever 3D visual puzzle that is highly usable, and strongly secure against programs abusing the Internet. World-leading companies using FunCaptcha testify that it stops abuse that no other tech can stop. See more by searching for "FunCaptcha" on the web.

Your role:

You will model and animate in 3D to make images that appear in FunCaptcha. These images are realistic and fluid so humans enjoy and make sense of them, while giving few clues to AI programs that seek to solve the puzzle automatically.

Key Responsibilities:

• Model, texture, and animate animals, people, and objects
• Set up animated light and camera rigs
• Render images into 2D frames
• Process frames with Photoshop batching
• Upload and activate images to be shown in FunCaptcha
• Understand user experience data to improve your work

To be successful you will demonstrate:

• Tertiary education or equivalent work experience related to 3D modelling, animation, and rendering
• Excellent portfolio including realistically modelled and animated animals and humans. Texturing can be basic-- our puzzles avoid realistic textures.
• A high attention to detail
• Traits that make you inquisitive, self-starting, and enthusiastic
• Abilities both to work autonomously and interface with a team

Other great-to-have experience qualifications:

• Experience related to software development
• Experience with writing animation and render scripts in Blender3D
• Used results of usability testing or playtesting to improve your work
• Can use a software issues tracker (JIRA etc)
• 5+ years relevant work experience

Tools you will use in this role:

• 3D modelling, animation, and rendering software
• Photoshop
• JIRA

You will have the opportunity to:

• Drive technology essential to keeping the Internet running smoothly
• Work directly with founder of the company, who will train you for the highest standards of efficient, high-quality software-as-a-service development
• Get in on the ground floor of a profitable company that major newspaper The Age placed in the Top 5 Start-Ups to Watch

This is a full-time salaried position, plus stock options. We flourish through inclusion of many backgrounds and experiences. Work in our Fortitude Valley office, with easy walks to rail, bus, coffee, and great food. We are looking for this role to start immediately.
