  • 8 years’ minimum experience with developing, deploying, monitoring, and maintaining applications and resources in a cloud environment
  • Strong experience writing pipeline services for a VFX, post, or animation facility
  • Strong understanding of software development best practices (testing, version management, etc.)
  • Strong experience in all major OS (Linux, Windows, MacOS)
  • Strong understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and general container-based application development

  • Strong development experience with Python; PyQT a plus
  • Strong development experience with Python web-development frameworks (Django, Flask, FastAPI etc.)
  • Strong experience scoping, managing, and developing end-user applications
  • Strong experience with implementing and managing application performance monitoring tools (DataDog, Sentry, NewRelic, etc.)
  • Strong experience with common CI/CD tools/workflows (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, etc.)
  • Experience with Hybrid On-Prem/Cloud Infrastructure a plus
  • Experience with version control tools like Git
  • Experience with Flow Production Tracking (formerly ShotGrid)
  • Experience with Deadline (or similar render manager)
