As our new Head of Pipeline & Rendering Engineering you will manage the pipeline team, as well as work in close collaboration with the rest of our R&D Team, our Artists and the Grip Software Development Team.

You will be spearheading our Graphics development projects, mentoring colleagues and provide first-hand technical and automated solutions for our artists and the eco system behind Grip. Together with our Development and Operations teams you will also ensure the pipeline is well setup and working at max efficiency.

Automation is in your heart, and you aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty with developing some code. Creating an automated and state-of-the-art pipeline for breathtaking visual results with the pipeline team is your number one goal, but you’ll also deeply understand and give guidance around the inner aspects of Computer Graphics, Rendering, Modelling, Compositing, Workflows and further aspects of 3D content production at scale. It is your passion to combine your knowledge in these areas with automation driven by code, inside and outside of 3D applications.

• In close collaboration with our CTO and different technical and artistic teams define, develop and run the next version of our rendering technology (both from a creative tooling & pipeline perspective and our end-user software).
• Guiding and make pipeline technology choices and define the future architecture of our technology platform.
• Close collaboration with our Grip development and technical teams to identify shared (technical) approaches.
• Collaborating with our artists to develop the tools and automation they need.
• Build, test & deploy frequent changes and updates to the pipeline.
• Document and possibly train artists to use the pipeline, pick up enhancements and implement directly.

Would be amazing if you have :

• 7+ years of experience in Computer Graphics and Science discipline (ideally as a M.Sc. / PhD) or 3+ years of practical experience in Computer Graphics industry in a similar role (with CG and Science focus)
• You have proven experience in leading and coach a team
• Experience and knowledge about practical application and usage of OpenUSD
• Experience with industry standards in PBR rendering (BRDF / BSDFs), standard interchange formats (OpenPBR / MaterialX / MDL / USD)
• Hands on software engineering and architecture (basic)
• Experience in the visual effects or computer animation industry
• Experience developing tools and / or plugins within industry software packages such as Maya, 3DS Max, Houdini and / or Nuke
• Experience with VRay, Cycles and / or Arnold
• Strong knowledge of Python / TypeScript / MaxScript / MEL / Blink and / or related scripting languages
• Experience working with revision control systems and defined coding standards
• In-depth PBR knowledge including industry standard definitions such as Disney Principled BRDF, Unreal shading model, ADMF and / or similar
• VFX, visualization, Feature Animation or Episodic production experience
• Experience developing and running pipelines on Windows / Linux

Nice to have :

• Knowledge of the VFX Reference Platform
• Good grasp on color-management (ACES, sRGB, color-spaces & gamut)
• Experience with simulation software such as Houdini
• Experience with look-dev software such as Katana
• Experience with real-time platforms such as Omniverse / Unreal
