As Lead Software Engineer, you would lead a team of engineers to write and maintain the tools necessary to support VFX workflows with a focus on Maya. Our ideal candidate is able to collaborate with non-technical stakeholders to define and document requirements, and then interpret these into technical components for the team to implement. Crucially, they are able to anticipate and mitigate areas of friction or potential scope creep and remove blockers to keep their projects on schedule.

- Make tough decisions about features that do and don’t fall within the scope of the project, and communicate these decisions clearly to stakeholders
- Break down work into components and work within an Agile framework to ensure timely delivery to production
- Ensure that projects align with organizational goals, industry best practices, and scalability requirements
- Enforce engineering best practices to ensure consistent and high quality code, via code review and mentorship
Qualifications
- Minimum twelve (12) years Python software development experience
- Minimum two (2) years in lead role
- Proven experience leading the design, development, and maintenance of complex VFX pipelines
- Self-directed, proactive, detailed, organized and solution-oriented personality
- Strong written/verbal communication and presentation skills
- Ability to design intuitive and well structured APIs using OOP
- Deep understanding of artist workflows in Maya, such as modeling, animation, rigging, and tracking/matchmove
- Experience designing and building pipelines using Maya and OpenUSD

- Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases preferred
