The Technology department at Brahma DDU is responsible for creating and supporting the infrastructure that powers DNEGs multi-site, global VFX and Feature Animation studio.

With thousands of artists producing tens of thousands of shots across film, TV, and immersive experiences, we face complex scaling and workflow challenges.

As a Senior Realtime Software Developer, you will take on a leadership role within the Realtime Technologies team.

Cross-Department Collaboration: Partner with other Technology groups to ensure realtime initiatives are integrated seamlessly into the studio''s broader software infrastructure.

Quality & Standards: Promote best practices for technical documentation, testing protocols, and CI/CD workflows to ensure the stability of production-critical tools.

Must Have Leadership Experience: Proven track record of leading small technical teams or acting as a Lead Developer on complex, multi-person projects.

Advanced Technical Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of Unreal Engine (C++ and Blueprints) and a solid understanding of the Engine''s inner workings.

Programming Skills: Extensive qualified experience in C++ and Python within a Linux and Windows environment.

Project Management Skills: Experience working in (and leading) Agile/Scrum environments, with the ability to manage competing priorities and stakeholder expectations.

Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and artists.

Problem Solving: A proactive mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and provide stable solutions under production pressure.

Nice to Have Industry Context: Experience with Virtual Production, VFX, or Feature Animation workflows (e.g., USD, Open

ColorIO).

Tooling Expertise: Experience developing artist-facing tools for packages like Houdini, Maya, Nuke, or Katana.

Systems Knowledge: Experience with multi-user Unreal development and large-scale version control (Perforce/Git) at a studio level.

Education: A degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
