What you bring:

  • 3+ years’ experience in feature animation, VFX, and/or animated television with a focus in Rigging
  • Proficiency with Maya, and a strongly node-oriented approach to problems
  • Proficiency with Python and the ability to navigate a large managed code base, or willingness to learn in a fast-paced technical environment
  • Ability to troubleshoot and manage communication during the support phase of published rigs, as they move through shots and departments
  • Ability to comfortably work to specs as precisely or as creatively as a brief outline

The following will be highly regarded, but is not required:

  • Foundational knowledge of trigonometry and linear algebra
  • Experience with character related simulation (soft tissues and localized secondary)

What we offer you:

  • Conveniently located in vibrant Yaletown, near the heart of downtown Vancouver
  • An inclusive workplace of employees who are passionate about creativity and technology
  • A chance to contribute to the success of ground-breaking animated feature films
  • Exposure to a USD pipeline
  • A dedicated Learning and Development and Talent Management team focused on your personal career growth
  • A flexible, hybrid work environment
  • Paid ‘Volunteer’ days to support those causes close to your heart
  • A world-renowned working environment packed with social clubs, activities and events
