About the Hiring Team Welcome to Lightspeed LA, the first U.S.-based, AAA game development studio for Tencent Games. Lightspeed LA is focused on building open-world games that emphasize an ambitious living world, sophisticated player-driven gameplay, and mature, thoughtful storytelling. We are developing the first in a series of genre-defining titles. Why join Lightspeed LA?

We encourage the showing of work that's still in progress. We don't attack or question unfinished work, we celebrate its promise. We have a No Blame Culture where we blame the problem, not the person. This is a safe place to fail, and we don't view failure as a negative, but as the natural result of pushing boundaries and trying new things. We create together. We face challenges together. We succeed together. What the Role Entails Spearhead and implement technical solutions for the art team, setting high standards and mentoring junior Technical Artists.
