Our team works directly with artists possessing a spectrum of technical experience, and the role requires initiative and communication skills for identifying and characterizing issues they encounter, along with the engineering skills to debug and resolve them in a large and complex code base. The work is a mix of supporting existing features and collaborating with project management and technical leadership to propose, plan, implement, and deploy new capabilities. Projects range from self-directed individual efforts to large departmental or studio initiatives involving the combined efforts of several technical teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • A desire to work closely with users in a creative environment

  • Familiarity with graphics concepts such as subdivision, tessellation, mesh topology, bounding hierarchies, and parametric deformation

  • Familiarity with geometric operations such as basis evaluation, surface / curve parameterization, and projection

  • Strong problem-solving and verbal and written communication skills with a high attention to detail

  • Demonstrable proficiency in C++ with at least 3 years of relevant professional experience

  • An appreciation for the importance of long-term code health, peer review, automated testing, and documentation

  • The ability to balance rapid delivery of critical solutions with long-term product quality

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Fluency with the practical concerns of programming high-performance software

  • Experience with multithreaded and GPU programming

  • Experience with USD, OpenSubdiv, or Hydra

  • Development experience with 3D content creation applications (e.g. Maya, Houdini)

  • Familiarity with Python as a scripting language

  • Experience developing in a UNIX / Linux environment

  • Able to work hybrid model (4 days a week on campus)

The hiring range for this position in Emeryville is $158,185.00 to $204,710.00 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate’s geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors.
