Render Technical Director at Flying Bark Productions

Flying Bark Productions is hiring a full-time Render Technical Director to audit, troubleshoot, profile, and optimize high-density animation and visual-effects scenes for render farms. The role bridges creative departments and render infrastructure, focusing on geometry, textures, shading, sampling, memory, CPU, I/O, and memory diagnostics, while developing Python and Lua tools and potentially custom shaders. Candidates need at least six years of feature-animation or visual-effects experience in a render, lighting, or pipeline technical-director role, along with knowledge of production ray-tracers, DCC platforms, computer-graphics fundamentals, and render-engine diagnostics. The position offers a hybrid work arrangement and discounted health insurance.
