  • Write high quality Python code that is easy to maintain and is well-tested

  • 4+ years experience writing Houdini pipeline code using python
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Demonstrated talent for designing intuitive, artist-friendly workflows without sacrificing functionality
  • Understanding of object-oriented programming patterns
  • Desire to probe and understand the inner workings of complex systems
  • Experience as an FX artist using Houdini in production (preferred)
  • Experience writing a Houdini pipeline using USD / Solaris (preferred)
  • PDG / TOPs experience (preferred)

Eyeline is a global creative studio partnering with storytellers to turn their ambitions into stunning reality. By blending the time-honored craft of filmmaking with breakthrough technologies, we unlock bold, cinematic visions at scale. Our three pillars - VFX, Studios and Labs - form the creative spine of Eyeline, guiding how we think, work, and show up in every frame.

At Eyeline, we believe technology serves artistry and our people are the soul behind everything we do, deepening creative connection, rather than replacing it. We build worlds with exceptional craft and precision, working hand in hand with our creative partners from concept to final pixel.

With the support of Netflix’s investment in our pipeline, infrastructure, and workforce, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in visual effects and virtual production technology.
