Toronto, Canada Industrial Brothers Full time

**Introduction**

Industrial Brothers is looking for a Head of Pipeline who will carry the studio’s vision for continuous software development in support of our innovative USD pipeline. This role will be responsible for leading a team of TDs who collaboratively deploy, configure and support the existing pipeline while supporting the evolution of a second-generation pipeline for upcoming project needs.

**Company**

Industrial Brothers is a full-service animation studio that creates and produces its own children's content in both 3D and 2D. Driven by the imagination of its artists, led by the dedication of its producers, and inspired by the innovation of its tech team, Industrial Brothers has created brands that span across toys, TVs and interactive experiences.

**Position Overview**

We are at the top of our game when it comes to animation series production pipelines. Working to continuously elevate our development of a foundationally USD pipeline, we are looking for a Head of Pipeline that will nurture the development by keeping up with new and emerging technologies and approaches. You will integrate effectively and lead a team of TDs by overseeing the code they produce, and leading them through the design, prototyping, development, maintenance and support involved in the customization of studio software.

You will have a strong communication style that is understood by your team as equally as it is by the CG and IT teams. You are a solutions provider with the ability to direct while sustaining a collaborative approach. Through a healthy, open dialogue between IT, CG, Production Management and Artists alike, you support the studio’s Artist driven approach to producing television series.

**Responsibilities**:

- Manage, direct, and lead a "Pipeline Team" of software developer (Pipeline TD) direct reports, in their tasks of building and maintaining custom software tools for the studio.
- Encourage and maintain a software development culture of best practices (including conforming to studio coding style guidelines) and collaboration (within the team and with other teams).
- Oversee any code development by Show TDs in support of their shows, to ensure most effective code reuse (can their code be integrated into the pipeline for broader use?) and to avoid code redundancy (is there code in the pipeline they can already use?). This oversight will also ensure that code written by Show TDs conforms to studio coding style guidelines.
- Provide guidance for any software architecture design for the pipeline and be the final decision on overarching software architecture design choices where multiple approaches are being highly considered.
- The Head of Pipeline will work closely with the Head of IT, the Head of CG, and show based CG Supervisors to triage major issues in order to establish highly effective solutions, where implementation tasks are delegated to appropriate teams/team members. As well, this close collaboration will provide direction and design of pipeline changes and additions of major new components of the pipeline.
- Clear and on-going communication with various departments and partners, with "clients" of the Pipeline Team being: CG (including all artists for their custom tools needs), Production Management, Creative Development, outsource vendors (if any custom tools for I/O between studios are needed), technology business partners (if any tools prototypes need to be developed for any proof-of-concept use of vendor products), and IT (if any coding support is needed by the IT team).
- Work closely with the executive management team to regularly update them on overall progress of the Pipeline Team, and discuss with them any needs for the growth of the team and any software or special hardware purchase needs for the team.
- Keep current with evolution of current technologies, as well as the emergence of new technologies, that could possibly be leveraged in the studio's software pipeline to improve production efficiency or effectiveness. This would include taking time to develop prototypes using these technologies to assess their viability and value for integration into the pipeline.
- Provide guidance and recommendations for integration with outsource vendor studios on any custom software development needs that will facilitate or greatly improve communication and data transfer between studios.
- Key stake-holder, along with Head of CG and CG Supervisors, in the assessment and vetting of any third-party software (purchased or open source) being considered for use in animation production for upcoming shows.

**Requirements**:

- Excellent communication skills (both verbal and written).
- Strong ability to manage and lead a team of software developers, and ability to effectively contribute to the overall technology leadership of a studio.
- Very savvy, analytical, pragmatic, and resourceful problem-solving skills.
- Amiable, approachable, and an exceptional, proactive team player.
- Calm, steady, and l
