Principal 3D Artist

Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim?), while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It’s currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct, costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.

At Assured, we provide large insurers with the software solutions they need to win in a modern, technology-driven world. From self-service claim-filing software to backend fraud detection, we’re the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.

The challenges we face are deep and diverse, from creating digital experiences that provide comfort and clarity to claimants at their most stressed and vulnerable to orchestrating large-scale ML-driven decision-making on billions of dollars of claims payments, life at Assured is dynamic, collaborative, and rewarding.

As a Principal 3D Artist on our Brand Team, you will be the core engine for 3D illustration and motion designs. Working closely with brand designers, web designers, motion designers and creative developers, you will translate high-level creative concepts into technically sophisticated 3D visuals using Cinema 4D.

This role requires a deep technical practitioner - someone who excels at complex dynamic simulations, procedural workflows, custom shader creation, and building hyper-efficient 3D asset handoffs for video production, digital marketing, and modern web environments.

What you’ll do

💡 Define the artistic vision for 3D initiatives and provide creative mentorship to the design team, ensuring consistent, high-level aesthetic quality and setting the standard for our brand’s 3D visual identity.
🎨 Orchestrate elite 3D brand visuals: Design sophisticated 3D illustrations and motion designs that elevate our brand identity, combining high-level creative focus with a rigorous technical execution of complex, multi-layered compositions across web, marketing, and digital surfaces.

🤔 Conceptualize complex narratives: Distill abstract technical themes into clear, compelling visual stories. Develop style frames and storyboards that bridge the gap between high-level creative direction and precise technical execution.

⚙️ Drive technical C4D production: Build complex, procedural scenes and dynamic motion systems using expert physics simulations and advanced deformers, moving from concept tests to final art-directed renders.

🔮 Architect custom look-development: Craft expressive lighting setups and bespoke node-based shaders in Redshift to establish a premium, distinctive visual language for our brand assets.

🎬 Lead post-production workflows: Configure sophisticated multi-pass render outputs and EXR compositing pipelines in After Effects to ensure seamless high-end video production handoffs.

🛠 Systematize production libraries: Define and maintain master project templates, lighting rigs, and material libraries to facilitate hyper-efficient asset creation across the design organization.

🌈 Rigorous color management: Command color-managed pipelines end to end — ACES/OCIO configs.

🧱 Own material systems: Architect and maintain the shared material and texture library that powers consistent look-dev across the team.

📐 Collaborate with creative team: Partner with designers and engineers to bridge creative concepts and performance. Manage the end-to-end technical pipeline for interactive 3D, including geometry optimization, texture baking, and asset compression for web environments.

What You Bring

🏆

• A decade of elite artistry: Demonstrate over ten years of expertise producing world-class 3D visuals within top-tier design studios, creative agencies, or premier in-house brand organizations.

💻
