Engineers in our Production Technology department are charged with developing and implementing new solutions for unique and challenging problems for all of our animated content. We do this working alongside a user base that shares a collaborative environment with us, and uses the code we develop to make our feature films.
Projects Include

The ideal candidate will enjoy a diversity of challenges in building up and operating solutions which span the full software stack, from core compute, data management to developing APIs and management user interfaces. All projects share a common goal of simple and performant solutions to complex problems, and use agile development methodologies as part of
high-energy, proficient teams. The developer filling this role should welcome being assigned to a variety of projects, depending on studio needs.
Software engineers are highly supportive of each other, expected to demonstrate self-direction when needed, and learn through experiencing both success and failure. You must therefore be comfortable supporting your team by bringing fresh insight for shared problem solving. Also critical to success in this role is the ability to build trust and relationships with technical and non-technical users to understand their needs and pain points intimately, and deliver relevant solutions.

• Experience building highly scalable and fault tolerant service architectures
• Able to identify, research, integrate, and adapt new technologies quickly as business needs evolve
• Experienced developing high-performance, highly concurrent, asynchronous code strongly desired. Exemplary communication, team working and problem-solving skills, balancing the timeliness of solutions with their sustainability
• Able to prioritize competing demands based on business value
• Effective listener: Able to engage with engineers and artists to understand their requirements and infer practical solutions
Bonus Qualifications
