Why join SideFX?
Position Overview
SideFX is seeking an exceptional software developer to join its Toronto-based compositing R&D team.
We are developing a next generation, procedural image processing system to provide the backbone for traditional compositing, texture synthesis, realtime 3D preview, and motion tracking. You will be working to integrate these capabilities within Houdini, our flagships software, which has proceduralism, openness, and flexibility as its core philosophies. The new compositing system will embody these ideals, scaling to massive task graphs, supporting both out-of-the-box operations and user-generated algorithms. It will work seamlessly with other parts of Houdini, including the 3D viewer, the Solaris/USD environment, our Karma renderers, physical simulations, and geometry processing.
As a member of the compositing group, you will be working with some of the brightest minds in the industry, and interacting with an outstanding artist community. Our R&D and compositing team members have received prestigious industry awards, including several Academy Awards and Emmy’s from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Everyone here shares a drive for excellence and a passion for innovation in image processing and compositing technology. Providing digital artists with the most advanced tools for their craft is, and has always been, our single focus.
