We're looking for a Pipeline Developer to join a creative technology team building the pipeline behind large-format immersive display experiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Unreal Engine plugins for rendering and pipeline workflows.
• Build automation and tooling that streamlines the VFX pipeline from asset creation to delivery.
• Implement and maintain Perforce pipeline integration across studio tools.
• Manage materials and assets through the studio's publishing and asset management systems.
• Integrate Unreal Engine workflows with proprietary encoding, playback, and cloud rendering systems.

Core Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on Unreal Engine development experience, including plugin development.
• Experience optimizing and troubleshooting rendering pipelines for large-format (16k+) and tiled displays.
• Experience integrating cloud rendering solutions into production pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with Perforce version control and pipeline workflows.
• Experience with asset management systems and publishing pipeline support.
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++ for scripting and automation.
• Strong understanding of VFX or game studio pipeline workflows.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, fast-paced environment.
