Creating original environment pieces (walls, floors, pillars, doorways) with relatively simple geometry and mostly hard-surfaces.
Filling environments with props to create finished areas that feel like a real place.
Working remotely with a very small team of enthusiastic developers to create a fun and unique first person game!

(Optionally ) Interfacing with external art teams to increase production and create high-quality assets, if necessary.
Must have:
Considerable experience working in the Unity Editor, creating prefabs, etc.
Understanding of performance optimization when developing environments.
(We are targeting mid-high end desktops, but may scale to consoles and low end PCs.)Ability to follow a realistic PBR workflow with Unity's Standard shader or equivalent.
(We also can use decals for added detail.)Understanding of version control.
(We use SVN for code and assets, but experience in Git etc. is equivalent. If this is a dealbreaker, we can teach this skill.)

Understanding of procedurally generated and destructible environments
Understanding of lighting in Unity (baked/realtime/GI)
