  • Proficiency in industry-standard VFX software (e.g., Houdini, Embergen or equivalent).
  • Strong understanding of PBR workflows and material creation.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

  • Application Process

    Interested candidates, please contact us by email for prompt consideration.
