🎬 About the Role


We’re seeking a Senior 3D Pipeline Technical Specialist to architect, optimize, and maintain the entire production pipeline for high-end 3D animated series and feature films.


You’ll be the technical backbone of the studio’s creative process — ensuring that every asset, shot, and render flows smoothly from art and concept to final composite.

This role demands deep technical skills and full production awareness — understanding not just code and tools, but also the creative artifacts like style bibles, character designs, thumbnails, color scripts, and look frames that drive production.

⚙️ Key Responsibilities


🔧 Pipeline Architecture & Tool Development


Design, implement, and maintain the end-to-end 3D animation pipeline — from asset creation to final render and delivery.


Build and support custom tools using Python / PySide / PyQt / MEL for Maya, Houdini, Blender, Unreal, and Nuke.


Integrate and maintain asset tracking systems (ShotGrid, Ftrack, Kitsu) and render farm managers (Deadline, Tractor).


Automate publishing, caching, version control, and file validation workflows.


Implement efficient dependency management between departments — Modeling → Rigging → Animation → FX → Lighting → Comp.


🧠 Process & Production Knowledge


Understand the entire animation pipeline, from concept art and thumbnails to final DI and QC.


Know how to translate pre-production artifacts (style bibles, character sheets, color scripts, look frames) into usable data for 3D production.


Define and enforce naming conventions, folder structures, and data standards across departments.


Ensure consistent color management and ACES compliance across tools and outputs.


Bridge creative and technical teams — communicating in both artistic and engineering language.


🚀 Optimization & Technical Direction


Profile and optimize scene load times, render performance, and farm throughput.


Troubleshoot broken assets, missing references, and pipeline bottlenecks.


Introduce new technology (USD, Unreal, Omniverse, cloud rendering) into existing pipelines.


Support department supervisors with technical guidance and automation requests.



👥 Collaboration & Mentorship


Collaborate with Art, LookDev, Lighting, and Comp leads to maintain visual consistency and technical readiness.


Mentor junior TDs and provide documentation/training for internal pipeline tools.


Liaise with production and IT to forecast storage, render, and hardware needs.
