  • You are fluent across modern software development and ML tooling and like collaborating with engineers, researchers, and artists.
  • You care about efficiency, reliability, and clean engineering.

Your role:

Software Development

  • Deploy ML solutions and integrate AI tooling within the VFX pipeline with minimal burden on artists and production.
  • Design and build web front-end UIs (dashboards, curation tools, job control, review) that make ML/automation workflows intuitive and accessible.
  • Collaborate with global stakeholders and architects to implement cost-effective data and MLOps pipelines; document methodologies.
  • Build, package, and configure complex software systems across Linux.

  • Manage escalated troubleshooting and debugging for ML-driven tools and services.
  • Work collaboratively under tight deadlines; mentor developers, assign tasks where appropriate, and report to the Head of ADG.

Engineering quality and coding standards:

  • Enforce standards via CI: formatting (e.g., black/clang-format), linting (ruff/eslint, clang-tidy), typing (Python type hints, TypeScript), and test coverage gates.
  • Require code reviews for all merges; maintain modular, testable designs with clear separation of concerns and DCC-agnostic cores where applicable.
  • Documented APIs (OpenAPI/Protobuf), versioned schemas, and backward-compatible changes.
  • Secure-by-default practices (authn/z, secrets management), performance budgets, and telemetry by design.

Primary technologies (coding language setup):

  • Languages: Python 3.x (tooling and ML integration), C++17 (performance-critical components), TypeScript/JavaScript (web UIs).
  • Web front-end: React (or Vue), modern build tooling, REST/GraphQL clients.
  • Services: FastAPI/Flask, gRPC/HTTP; containerized on Linux.
  • Build/packaging: CMake; setuptools/pip/poetry; RPM/deb where appropriate.
  • VCS/CI: Git; GitHub/GitLab CI or Jenkins.

Must have:

  • Strong programming and shell-scripting skills (Python; Bash).
  • Experience building and troubleshooting non-trivial packages (C++11–17, CMake, autotools, setuptools/pip/poetry, RPM).
  • Linux expertise and command-line proficiency.
  • Solid grasp of systems architecture and software engineering fundamentals.
  • Ability to articulate complex technology to non-experts and collaborate openly.
  • Confidence in navigating ambiguity and providing pragmatic solutions.
  • Proactive mindset and comfort with multiple priorities.

Logical, methodical approach to problem solving.

Nice to have:

  • Significant experience with a major package/ports system.
  • Experience monitoring, collecting, and analysing diagnostics to drive resilience.
  • Practical experience with Git and issue tracking systems (Jira).
  • Familiarity with ops/CI/CD tooling (Elastic Stack, Graphite/Grafana/StatsD, Sensu, Jenkins/GitHub Actions).
  • Understanding of sysadmin responsibilities (networking, filesystems, environment management).
  • Relevant qualifications (CS/CE degree; RHCSA/RHCE, etc.).
  • Demonstrable open-source contributions.
