What we’ll accomplish together:

• Drive the development of tools and pipelines that allow content creators to generate exciting 3D experiences.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to gather delivery requirements, resolve impediments, and communicate status updates.
• Define and maintain the vision for the entire 3D content creation pipeline.
• Prioritize and manage priorities, balancing product vision, user needs, and technical considerations.
• Document and communicate technical content like coding standards, technical design documents, and best practices.
• Streamline and optimize processes and workflows and work towards continuous improvement of the team.
• Take ownership of challenging problems that arise from evolving the architecture of software that is heavily exercised in an active production environment.
• Self-motivated with strong communications skills and able to work both in a team and independently.
• Collaborate with artists and other engineers to provide innovative technical solutions that extend our artistic and engineering reach.

A little about you:

• Experience as an Engineer in a 3D computer-graphics related field (VFX, Games, Film, Motion Graphics, 3D E-Commerce, Product Visualization).
• Solid general programming skills including knowledge of software patterns, build systems, and methods for coding high-performance applications.
• Proficiency in a modern programming language such as Python, C++, C#, and/or Node.js.
• Experience in building and maintaining internal pipelines and toolsets, including user documentation and education.
• Deep understanding of 3D content creation workflows and ingestion/delivery processes.
• Understanding of current generation real-time and offline rendering and shader techniques.
• Familiarity with commonly used file formats for meshes, images or textures, as well as interchangeable 3D assets (glTF, USDZ, FBX, Alembic).
• Broad knowledge of Unity, Blender, Unreal, Maya, Houdini, and Adobe Substance Suite.

Bonus points if you have the following:

• Experience with real-time game engines (Unity, Unreal) and offline renderers (PRMan, Arnold, VRay).
• Ability to analyze and optimize 3D assets for real-time rendering through solid understanding of modern shading, lighting, and rendering methodologies.
• Familiarity with Universal Scene Description (USD).
• Experience with Source control (e.g., GitHub, Perforce, SVN, Plastic SCM).
• Experience with render farms, distributed rendering, and cloud architecture.
• Experience extending creative and technical project management tools (Linear, Shortcut, Jira, Asana, Shotgrid, ftrack).
• Experience working with global outsourcing and contract-based 3D content creation teams.
