Description:

Scarab Digital is sought after by digital entertainment visionaries to help them achieve what they never thought possible. Through the convergence of cutting-edge technology and dynamic design, Scarab Digital is an industry expert at leveraging interactive motion graphics, emerging virtual production, and environmental visual effects.
Have you watched Sonic the Hedgehog? The Peacemaker? Fall of the House of Usher? These are all productions we were part of. While we love creating innovative content, we also love solving complex film production problems. We are known in the film industry to have an arsenal of solutions, including postproduction, computers, rental equipment, displays, experience with video content and video walls.
If you can commit to and live with the following principles, then you are the type of person who will be successful and help our company thrive. If you feel this level of engagement is not right for you or that you’re not willing or able to participate with us at this level, we are not a good fit for you.
Our expectation is that you will take the steps necessary to do what you say you are going to do and be accountable for your actions. In other words, live “Above Yourself.”
We understand that not every person is ready for this level of performance, and we appreciate the honesty of those who decide this is not the right place for them. On the other hand, you would make an ideal candidate to join our company if you are willing to commit to the following Above Yourself principles:
Accountability: See It, Own It, Solve It, Do It. Become part of the solution
Respect for others and their feelings
Act now!
Ask the question: “What else can I do?”
Ask the questions: “What coaching do you have for me?” and “What can I do better?”
Personal ownership and pride
Reject average
Show others that you care.
Please be honest if you think you would be fit for this sort of culture. If you said YES to the above, you may be who we are looking for!
