Create optimized 3D characters, sets, vehicles, props, and organic or hard-surface assets from production designs using Maya. Collaborate with rigging and surfacing teams to resolve pipeline issues, meet deadlines, maintain high creative and technical standards, and mentor junior artists at the senior level.

Create stylized, painterly textures and materials for characters, environments, props, and sets on a Marvel Animation streaming series. Responsibilities include interpreting surface references, building and optimizing shader networks, designing reusable materials, supporting surfacing tools and workflows, meeting production deadlines, and collaborating with modeling, lighting, look development, and supervisory teams. Senior artists also mentor junior artists and handle complex hero assets.

Create 3D previs and layout for a premium animated series by translating storyboards into camera compositions, character blocking, staging, timing, and polished camera movement. Collaborate with directors, layout supervisors, editors, and animators to support storytelling, adapt to editorial changes, solve staging challenges, and implement feedback. Maya pipeline experience and strong cinematography, lensing, posing, and animation skills are required.

Create and simulate digital crowds for a Marvel Studios streaming series. Responsibilities include populating environments, setting up crowd assets, building Atoms simulations, troubleshooting workflows, and collaborating with FX, Lookdev, Lighting, Animation, and CG Supervisors. The role requires balancing technical simulation expertise with strong artistic judgment, meeting deadlines, and communicating proactively. It is fully remote within Canada, with an option to work from the Vancouver studio.

Lead architecture and implementation of a scalable, secure backend platform for GenAI-driven animation tools. Migrate prototype to containerized cloud infrastructure, design distributed and event-driven systems, implement identity, billing, observability, GPU worker optimization, immutable audit trails, and high-performance REST APIs integrated with creative tools.

Coordinate production schedules, track assignments, manage reviews/dailies, support artists and supervisors, troubleshoot playback issues, prepare status reports, and monitor outsourced deliveries to keep a CG animation pipeline on schedule.

Manage scheduling and production tracking for a 2.5D/3D episodic animation series: map realistic schedules, track artist progress, flag and solve bottlenecks, supervise coordinators, run efficient dailies, maintain ShotGrid data, and manage client deliveries and reviews while protecting crew well-being.

Build and maintain an efficient crowd pipeline integrating Maya, Atoms Crowd, and Houdini. Develop tools and Python scripts, prototype shot pipelines, troubleshoot production issues, and coach artists. Serve as liaison between Asset, FX, and Animation teams to ensure smooth downstream integration and reliable delivery under tight deadlines.
