At Side, we work alongside some of the world's leading developers and innovators to create immersive interactive experiences that combine cutting-edge technology with exceptional user engagement.

This project is focused on the development of a next-generation **first-person VR flight simulation experience** built in **Unreal Engine 5**. Combining realistic simulation systems, immersive environments, and intuitive interactions, the project aims to deliver highly authentic aviation experiences that place users at the centre of complex real-world scenarios. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you'll help shape virtual environments, prototype interactions, and refine user experiences that balance realism, usability, and immersion. This is an opportunity to contribute to a sophisticated simulation project that pushes the boundaries of real-time technology and interactive design.

We're looking for a talented **3D Artist** with experience creating high-quality real-time assets for Unreal Engine projects, helping bring an immersive VR flight simulation to life through visually compelling and technically optimised content.

_As these are project-based opportunities, positions may be amended, postponed, or withdrawn as a result of changing client requirements and project priorities._
