About The Position

AOA is seeking a Visualization Designer to create compelling visual content and cinematic presentations for themed entertainment projects. This role focuses on visual storytelling in Unreal Engine, translating design intent into polished scenes, images, animations, and rendered sequences that communicate ideas clearly, emotionally, and beautifully. The ideal candidate has a strong artistic eye and a passion for creating high-quality visual work in Unreal Engine. They should be comfortable developing scenes across a range of visual styles, from photorealistic to artistic to stylized, and understand how to use composition, lighting, mood, materials, and camera language to bring an idea to life. While this role will often focus on pre-rendered media and cinematic output, the ideal candidate should also understand how to build assets and scenes thoughtfully so they can be efficiently leveraged for other uses when needed.
