Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Supervise animation quality and creative direction across project sequences. Lead animator assignments, establish visual benchmarks, conduct team and client reviews, mentor animators, and coordinate with rigging and pipeline teams to improve character setups and tools. Ensure progress meets production milestones while maintaining high standards for motion, performance, and detail.

Composite 2D, 3D and live-action elements to high-end VFX standards, take direction from leads, meet show deadlines, manage workload, and apply color space and composition principles.

Create high-quality, story-driven keyframe animations for 3D characters and objects in Unreal Engine. Collaborate with animation, art direction, technical animation, and pipeline teams to refine rigs, tools, and character setups. Submit sequences for review, incorporate feedback, meet deadlines, and support high-end immersive and game experiences. The role requires strong knowledge of Unreal Engine, Control Rig, Sequencer, Maya, animation pipelines, rigging, and physical motion.

Create and optimize real-time environments, assets, shaders, lighting, particle effects, and visual experiences in Unreal Engine for VR, location-based entertainment, and immersive projects. Collaborate with artists, developers, and production teams; adapt VFX assets for in-engine use; build Blueprints and editor tools; improve performance; and support modeling, texturing, look development, and lighting best practices.

Develop and maintain Python and PySide tools for 2D VFX workflows, including compositing, paint, roto, editorial, and review. Integrate machine learning solutions, Nuke APIs, media-processing tools, and open-source VFX frameworks into production pipelines. Collaborate with supervisors and global pipeline teams to resolve workflow bottlenecks, maintain software libraries, support testing and documentation, and mentor junior team members. Preferred experience includes ComfyUI, containerization, render farms, web development, CI/CD, ShotGrid, databases, and generative AI workflows.

Creates high-quality real-time 3D environments for immersive experiences, VR, location-based entertainment, and theme parks. Responsibilities include modeling, texturing, look development, lighting, level art, set dressing, shader creation, and performance optimization in Unreal Engine. Collaborates with developers, artists, asset builders, and production teams while documenting workflows and troubleshooting technical issues.

Build, implement, and maintain animation systems in Unreal Engine for XR, interactive projects, and themed attractions. Collaborate with technical artists, developers, rigging, animation, pipeline, and VFX teams to create responsive real-time experiences. Troubleshoot animation issues, optimize performance, support artist workflows, document tools, and balance technical constraints with creative quality.

Leads the artistic and technical execution of complex FX and character dynamics simulations, including cloth, fur, hair, skin, muscle, and environmental effects. Mentors FX and CFX technical directors, develops Houdini and Maya production setups, runs hero simulations, troubleshoots pipeline issues, and coordinates asset handoffs across departments. The role also requires scripting, tool development, lighting, rendering, compositing, technical reviews, and communication with artists and supervisors.

Provides escalation-level IT support across North American studios, administering workstations, operating systems, applications, storage, virtualization, licensing, monitoring, and render-farm software. Supports enterprise file systems, infrastructure alerts, documentation, artist workflows, and technology projects. Requires hardware repair and build experience, scripting, Active Directory, VMware, storage architecture, and customer-facing troubleshooting. Participates in an on-call rotation.

Create and execute character and creature simulations for clothing, hair, fur, feathers, skin, and muscle using Maya, nCloth, and proprietary tools. Build simulation rigs, deliver finished assets to Lighting, collaborate with Modeling, Rigging, Animation, and Production, and contribute to tool development. Manage schedules, troubleshoot pipeline issues, and maintain high-quality technical and aesthetic standards across CG creature projects.
