  • Develop, maintain, extend, and support an extensive high-level animation system, pipeline, and tools.
  • Implement well designed, robust, highly optimal new animation features, integrating them into our existing animation, gameplay, physics, and graphics systems.
  • Keep up to date with the latest academic and industry breakthroughs, independently research and develop improvements to continuously push our technology forward.
  • Qualifications

  • A degree in Computer Science or related discipline.
  • 5+ years of industry experience working as an engine or animations systems programmer.
  • Industry experience working on AAA character based games, or character based VFX animation.
  • Experience developing within a large existing codebase, collaborating or working independently within a large team.
  • Skills

  • Strong C / C++ programming skills.
  • Familiarity with common optimization and multi-threading techniques.
  • Good communication skills, ability to clearly share complex technical information with other programmers, animators and technical artists.
  • Strong 3D math skills.
