We're looking for pipeline and tool developers to join our project and core pipeline teams where we recognise the nature of work has changed and actively accommodate a healthy work/life balance. You would be joining a group of developers that genuinely enjoy making artists’ lives easier. We have a great dev culture, promoting new ideas and discussions within the team and are keen to have your input.


About the role:

  • You will attend technical meetings to provide clarity about the development you are involved with.
  • You will be in constant communication with your team, the pipeline team, as well as with your production, if you are assigned to one.
  • When you work at project level, you will be developing solutions with a specific project in mind, and expanding the company pipeline capabilities in a project agnostic way.
  • When you work at core level, you will be developing solutions for all project workflows, company wide.
  • You will be documenting new and existing workflows for the benefit of the technical and creative teams.
  • We work with the Shotgrid Toolkit Framework, so experience in this area and or any other Asset Management systems is a must.
  • Our software stack involves Autodesk Maya, Substance Painter, Katana, Nuke and Houdini, as well as Toon Boom Harmony. Experience in one or multiple of these DCC API is required.
  • Excellent Python coding skills are a must. C++ knowledge would be a bonus for squeezing that extra performance needed in certain places.


About you:

  • Must have previous pipeline production experience (Animation preferred, but VFX can also be considered)
  • Experience with Katana preferred, we are working on improving our lighting pipeline.
  • Sydney candidates preferred, but we are open to remote opportunities within Australia or candidates open to relocation to Sydney.

  • Technology stack: python (100% a must), Shotgrid API (90% a must), Shotgrid Toolkit (90% a must), REZ (not a requirement but ideal if you have used it), windows OS (not a requirement but ideal if you have used it), c++ (not a requirement but bonus), Jenkins (not a requirement but bonus)
  • Bonus if you have contributed to other open source projects (github, bitbucket, gitlab)
  • Bonus for experience of leading pipeline in a past project.


As a (Flying) Barker and member of the pipeline crew:

  • You excel at identifying how to automate artists' workflows, so they do not have to repeat the same thing over and over.
  • You are an excellent problem solver with attention to detail, identifying how to split a complex task into smaller, more manageable ones.
  • Communication with others is second nature to you, ensuring the flow of information with production, artists and pipeline stays active.
  • You can identify when to invest time solving a problem properly and never look back, or make a one off exception and solve it now by whatever means necessary.
  • You are a fast learner, and never afraid to be involved in new workflows, new applications, new code, or even old code, to get familiarised with.
  • You are not afraid of refactoring code when the job requires it, or adding value to existing code by keeping consistency when it makes more sense.
  • You are not shy when it comes to proposing your ideas for new workflows.
  • You are a team player, can support your peers and artists when they are in need, and escalate issues if necessary.
  • You are able to prioritize tasks to have the most impact with the time and resources available.
