If you currently do not have the time to join Project Borealis fully for an extended period, but still want to help out, you are at the right place.

In a short term position you will work on a smaller, self-contained, task within the project, without having to commit to fully joining the team for a longer time. Tasks could be singular assets, a part of a level, or a specific script. Afterwards you can decide if you want to join the team long term, pick up another short term positon, or part ways with us.

We will get in contact with you about the exact nature and extent of the work throughout the application process, to find something that fits your specific skillset and availability.

As an Unreal Engine VFX/Particle artist, you’ll be creating and implementing effects and particle systems, working hand-in-hand with animators and artists to create a wide range of effects; from bright muzzle flashes and rich blood splatters, to violent explosions and bone chilling blizzards.
