Job Details

En tant que responsable ingénieur logiciel, vous dirigerez une équipe d'ingénieurs chargée de rédiger et de maintenir les outils nécessaires pour soutenir les flux de travail VFX, avec un accent particulier sur Maya. Le candidat idéal saura collaborer avec des parties prenantes non techniques pour définir et documenter les exigences, puis les traduire en composants techniques que l'équipe pourra mettre en œuvre. De manière cruciale, il ou elle sera capable d'anticiper et de réduire les frictions ou les risques de dérive du périmètre, et d'éliminer les obstacles pour garantir que les projets respectent les délais. Le responsable ingénieur logiciel donne le ton en matière de qualité et de suivi, et élève les membres de l'équipe à travers des révisions de code, des échanges quotidiens et des ajustements de trajectoire.

Principales responsabilités

    • Prendre en charge des initiatives spécifiques du pipeline, de la conception à la livraison
    • Collaborer avec les responsables du pipeline et les parties prenantes de la production pour définir les histoires d'utilisateurs et les exigences des projets de développement du pipeline
    • Travailler avec les architectes de pipeline pour interpréter les histoires d'utilisateurs et les exigences en une définition de projet – en évaluant les compromis, en estimant l’effort nécessaire et en atténuant les risques
    • Prendre des décisions difficiles concernant les fonctionnalités qui relèvent ou non du périmètre du projet, et communiquer clairement ces décisions aux parties prenantes
    • Décomposer le travail en composants et travailler au sein d’un cadre Agile pour garantir une livraison en temps voulu à la production
    • Veiller à ce que les projets soient alignés avec les objectifs organisationnels, les meilleures pratiques de l’industrie et les exigences de scalabilité
    • Faire respecter les meilleures pratiques d’ingénierie afin d’assurer un code de qualité constante et élevée, à travers des révisions de code et du mentorat

Qualifications

    • Expérience minimale de douze (12) ans en développement logiciel Python
    • Expérience minimale de deux (2) ans dans un rôle de leadership
    • Expérience avérée dans la conception, le développement et la maintenance de pipelines VFX complexes
    • Personnalité autonome, proactive, méticuleuse, organisée et orientée vers les solutions
    • Excellentes compétences en communication écrite et orale, ainsi qu'en présentation
    • Capacité à concevoir des API intuitives et bien structurées en utilisant la programmation orientée objet (OOP)
    • Compréhension approfondie des flux de travail des artistes dans Maya, tels que la modélisation, l'animation, le rigging et le tracking/matchmove
    • Expérience dans la conception et la construction de pipelines utilisant Maya et OpenUSD
    • Une expertise avec les dernières fonctionnalités de l'écosystème Autodesk Maya USD, notamment les formes proxy, les références, UFE et Hydra, est préférable
    • Une connaissance des bases de données SQL et NoSQL est un atout
