Résumé du poste

Promise is seeking a Pipeline Technical Director to manage the studio's production backbone, ensuring clean, versioned assets and reliable delivery across shows. You will own data I/O processes, ingest, transcode, QC, packaging, and client delivery, working with the pipeline lead and technologist daily.

You will refine publish workflows, maintain a reconciled database, and set up new shows in the pipeline, with hands-on collaboration across coordinators and artists.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience administering AYON or OpenPype: project setup, anatomy, permissions, and publishing.
• Experience in pipeline TD, data I/O, or production engineering roles at a VFX, animation, or post studio, or on productions where data I/O was yours to run.
• Delivery-spec literacy: codecs, color pipelines, naming, and the discipline of getting it right every time.
• Python for pipeline scripting and comfort with REST APIs.
• A working understanding of how shots, bids, and task assignments move through a production.
• Comfort configuring a pipeline to a studio's own standard, with the understanding that every studio pipeline is its own.
• Los Angeles preferred, with on-site availability.

Responsabilités

• Administer the production backbone across shows: project setup, anatomy and naming conventions, users and permissions, and status workflows.
• Own data I/O for every show: ingest, transcode, QC, packaging, and delivery to client spec, on the dates productions depend on.
• Run and refine the publish workflow artists use to get approved work into the system.
• Keep the production database clean and reconciled: versions, links, and metadata that hold up at delivery.
• Set up new shows in the pipeline, from folder structure and task assignment through handoff to coordinators and artists.
• Support the pipeline lead and the lead technologist on integrations with the DCC and review tools artists use daily.
• Document how the pipeline works so it outlives any one person's memory.
