This is a fantastic opportunity for you to develop your technical skills in an entry-level position and gain experience in the Visual Effects industry. You will be exposed to every step of our pipeline and will be involved in the production of exceptional VFX and animation work on projects ranging from blockbuster epics to television dramas.

This role opens up opportunities to progress through Double Negative’s Pipeline group as a Pipeline TD and Pipeline Supervisor, with potential opportunities in different specialisms and departments across the company.

• Good Python scripting skills

Nice to Have

• Previous work experience in Visual Effects, Games or another related industry

• Experience with a variety of DCC packages such as Houdini, Katana, Nuke or Clarisse

• A degree in Computer Science, Computer Graphics or related field

We would not be able to produce award-winning work without our Production Technology department, which is committed to nurturing an inclusive, diverse and exciting workplace. Our technical directors have a variety of backgrounds and originate from a number of different countries, working across the globe at the forefront of technology in the industry.
