DNEG’s Maya development team augments Autodesk Maya with bespoke software
products to allow artists to create high-end VFX and digital environments, pushing
complexity, scalability, and artistic boundaries through procedural workflows.
In this role, you’ll build artist-facing and backend tools to streamline workflows, extend
Maya’s capabilities, and solve production challenges. You’ll primarily develop with HOM,
using HDK when needed, and integrate tools into CG pipelines while maintaining a seamless
Maya user experience.
Strong UX awareness, clear documentation, and a focus on usability and adoption are
essential. You’ll deliver clean, testable, and maintainable code aligned with Brahma AI
standards.
You’ll collaborate with artists, developers, and project managers, requiring excellent
communication skills to plan roadmaps and drive innovation across the full software lifecycle
(design, develop, test, deploy and support).
