  • We are a global team of programmers and researchers who collaborate on pushing the boundaries of character animation on next generation hardware.
  • We support and work closely with art, technical art, animation, and gameplay teams across multiple Rockstar studios.
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Join our core animation technology team and work closely with animation, rigging, technical art, and tools teams across different Rockstar studios.
  • Research, develop, maintain, extend, and support hair, character dynamics, surface deformation, and rigging technology.
  • Implement well designed, robust, highly optimal new animation features, integrating them into our existing animation, gameplay, and scripting systems.
  • Keep up to date with the latest academic and industry breakthroughs, independently research and develop improvements to continuously push our technology forward.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • A degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
  • Experience developing within a large existing codebase, collaborating or working independently within a large team.
SKILLS
  • Experience writing GPU shaders, or with GPGPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL, compute shaders, etc).
  • Proficiency in C++.
PLUSES

Please note that these are desirable skills and are not required to apply for the position.

  • Industry experience working on AAA character based games, or character based VFX animation.
  • Strong math skills.
  • Familiarity with quaternion (and dual quaternion) algebra.
  • Knowledge of existing procedural secondary motion techniques, hair and cloth simulation/rendering, etc.
  • Strong R&D mindset, adept at taking the initiative on researching and experimenting with new ideas, solutions, and technologies.
