Scanline VFX, an award-winning visual effects company owned by Netflix, is seeking a Pipeline Developer specializing in Nuke development. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and visual effects, where you'll be responsible for developing and maintaining tools and workflows for compositing artists.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge visual effects technology in a company that has established itself as a leader in the industry, with eight studios worldwide including locations in London, Los Angeles, Montreal, Seoul, Mumbai, and Vancouver. As part of Netflix's technology ecosystem, you'll have access to advanced infrastructure and resources to push the boundaries of what's possible in visual effects.

The role requires a unique blend of technical expertise and understanding of artist workflows. You'll be working closely with artists, supervisors, and other pipeline team members to solve complex challenges and create intuitive tools. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include developing Nuke-related tools, troubleshooting issues, and implementing new features to enhance the artist experience.

Key technical requirements include Python programming experience with Nuke (2+ years), understanding of object-oriented programming, and familiarity with tools like git and unit testing. Experience with PyQt/PySide and C++ (especially Nuke's NDK) is valued, as is knowledge of other DCCs like Houdini and Maya.

The compensation package is competitive, ranging from $100,000 to $170,000 annually for the Vancouver location, with the final offer depending on your qualifications and experience. The company offers a hybrid work environment and emphasizes a culture of innovation and collaboration, where team members are encouraged to contribute ideas and push creative boundaries.
