Software Development Engineer II, Accelerated Production

DESCRIPTION

Welcome to the future of film-making technology! We are developing new products that enable high-end visual effects and animation studios to leverage the cloud for ground-breaking real-time workflows. Our team is in need of software development engineers who are passionate about distributed, high-performance, container-based, application back-ends that power artist-facing tools for compositing, rendering, and animation.

As a team focused on innovation we strive to find a balance between heads-down concentration and energized collaboration, leveraging the strengths of both in-person and virtual working patterns. We have a lightweight agile development approach and frequently validate results with our internal and external stakeholders. We plan, prioritize, and execute as a team.

Our team consists of skilled software development engineers and subject matter experts with deep expertise in cloud technology and the visual effects and animation industries fueled by multiple decades of combined experience within well known animation and visual effects studios. We enjoy a polyglot development environment, including C/C++ and Python and own our full technology stack from the service plane through open-sourced artist-facing tools. Above all, we care deeply about delivering bar-raising and customer-delighting technology that leverages the cloud for content creation in new and exciting ways!
