    • 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

    • 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

    • Experience using Flow/Shotgrid, and a proven record of leveraging automation to streamline production
    • An understanding of Service-Oriented & Event-Driven Architectures, and experience using them to solve production problems is preferred
    • Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases
