Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent formal training
Strong software engineering skills including familiarity with software design principles, performance optimization, and testing
Strong problem-solving and communication skills with high attention to detail
Highly qualified candidates may have:
Familiarity with the mathematics of computer graphics such as linear algebra as used to represent spatial transformations, and parametric curves and surfaces
Familiarity with established graphics concepts such as subdivision, tessellation, mesh topology, and bounding hierarchies
Experience with multithreaded and GPU programming
Experience with professional 3D DCC applications (e.g., Maya, Houdini), USD, Qt, and Linux
Experience working within VFX or animation production environments
