As a Technical Director focused on FX and rendering, you will support both internal teams and external production studios in adopting a new volumetric video format integrated into standard CGI pipelines.

• Test and validate plugins and tools used in FX-heavy pipelines.
• Create clear, engaging documentation and tutorials to support external creators.

• Assist with improving interoperability between 3D software and immersive video formats.

What We’re Looking For

• Solid experience with Houdini and FX pipelines.
• Proficiency with render engines such as Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift, or equivalent.
• Understanding of production workflows in feature films, VFX, or high-end CGI.
• Basic scripting knowledge (e.g., Python) and comfort with command-line tools.
• Strong communication skills; English fluency required, additional languages a plus.
• A problem-solving mindset and willingness to work across disciplines.
• Previous experience working in immersive media, VR, or experimental 3D formats.
• Exposure to stereo rendering, depth mapping, or camera projections.
• Ability to bridge creative and technical requirements within fast-paced production teams.
