The Wētā FX Rendering Department builds sophisticated production rendering technology for high-quality final frame rendering as well as consistent and interactive visualisations. We are searching for an agile and driven engineer to expand our rendering team to evolve our GPU-based in-house rendering engine. This engine is a crucial part in the creative process of our production pipeline for lighting, virtual production, scene layout and modelling.
An extensive understanding of current and future interactive rendering and optimisation techniques for modern GPU hardware architectures is required. In this position you will work in a team of highly skilled rendering researchers and engineers, and your work will directly impact how artists will transform their creativity to cinematic movie production in our studio.
