We’re looking for someone with experience writing artist tools for DCCs such as Maya, Houdini, Nuke, Clarisse, 3dsMax, Katana, and Adobe products, and to take ownership of some of these integrations.
This position will coordinate with other team members to contribute design ideas and ensure a coherent experience across all customer-facing applications.

- Ensure plugins and 3rd party renderers are supported where there’s demand.
- Identify opportunities to simplify the customer experience by removing redundant features.
- Write readable code with tests and strive to improve the quality of your own and legacy code through refactoring.
- Build and release tools compatible with multiple host versions and platforms.
- Troubleshoot production scenes and determine the best action to mitigate repeat issues.
- Keep customer-facing and internal documentation up to date.
