Job Summary

The lines between production and post-production are becoming blurred thanks to the adoption of real-time tools in production from companies like Epic, Unity and Nvidia. Traditional pipelines are changing to accommodate challenges from these new workflows.  We are on a mission to help our clients manage these productions assets and tasks and create effortless synergy between disparate systems.

You will bring your innovation, experience, and passion for the industry to the team, collaborating to identify current production needs as well as anticipate new opportunities for the future.

  • Communicate with designers, producers, artists, and others to design automated features and improve their efficiency and quality of work.
  • Develop and maintain training materials and documentation. 
  • Function as the Single Point of Contact for assigned clients.
  • Work with client’s Development, QA and UAT teams to ensure successful implementation of projects and releases. 
  • Contribute to the design and architecture to enable secure, scalable, and maintainable software. 
  • Contribute to technical roadmap and technical debt elimination, balancing time, resource, and quality constraints to achieve business and strategic goals and requirements.
  • Analyze client needs and workflows, recommending best practices, and configuring tools to suit the identified needs.
Requirements
  • A least 3 years of experience in M&E or Games industry, with a deep knowledge of production pipelines, and a passion for pipeline development.
  • Experience with Python, C++, Javascript, SQL, Django, Flask, JSON, REST.
  • Experience with Shotgrid API and ShotgridToolkit.
  • Experience with ftrack and CineSync.
  • Knowledge of Jira and/or Perforce.
  • Experience with DCC software like Maya and Nuke, specifically with their APIs.
  • Experience with Deadline and AWS Cloud Services. 
  • The ability to self-manage and context switch when necessary.
  • Ability to strategically solve complex technical issues.
  • Ability to communicate technical information effectively – both written and verbally.
  • Ability to work independently and in a collaborative environment.
  • Someone with well-founded opinions on pipeline and how to solve common challenges.
  • Someone who is hungry to continue learning new software and technology.

We provide a competitive compensation package, including health benefits for full-time

About Us

Pixar’s founders famously commented on the nature of animation, inspiration, and storytelling in a simple expression: "Art challenges technology, but technology inspires the art."If you are ready to help some of the world's most creative people translate that inspiration into the next big blockbuster, then it’s time to join GPL Technologies.

GPL Technologies is helping studios, VFX companies, post-production facilities, creators, artists, and producers become more effective – faster, less expensive, more collaborative, with fewer headaches, and with more productivity anywhere in the world. Most of the “who’s who” in media and entertainment (Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony, and Amazon Studios to name a few) are already working with GPL Technologies to create content with record speed, quality, and efficiency.

For time and cost sensitive projects (which is everything in media these days), the value proposition is unparalleled – delivering optimized IT solutions for content creators and media services providers. Seasoned executives at some of the leading companies including Pixomondo, Technicolor, Electronic Arts, Skydance, and Apple are leaping at the chance to join this new wave in "creative enablement" and the opportunity to shape a truly electric environment for serving customers. 

We are looking for strong candidates who are self-driven, entrepreneurial, and willing to admit when their first idea won’t work – and then try a new one. No blind followers, we want thinkers who can solve problems creatively by cooperating with teammates and clients to create great outcomes. They understand that supporting clients is a challenging and rewarding experience.
