Halon Entertainment is a visualization and technology studio: previz, postviz, virtual production, game trailers, and cinematics for film, games, and advertising. We're hiring senior engineers for the small platform team that builds the tools our artists and supervisors work in every day. Our product is that tooling, and the people who use it are our customers.
Requirements
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain the studio's pipeline and artist-facing tools: launchers, publishers, loaders, review and notes tools, and the interfaces artists use daily.
Build the front-ends for those tools across our surfaces: web (TypeScript/JavaScript), Qt/PySide desktop UIs, and in-engine tools in Unreal, with an emphasis on interfaces that are fast, responsive, and a pleasure to use.
Develop and maintain integrations with Maya, Unreal, and Nuke through their Python APIs, and with Perforce, on Windows.
Work within and extend our AYON-based pipeline.
Build AI-assisted features into the pipeline tooling.
Use AI to move faster on day-to-day development while holding a high bar for code quality and keeping the codebase clean and free of slop.
Own the tools you build through their full lifecycle: ship, maintain, and improve them in production.
Manage your own work. We have no project managers; you plan and drive your tasks and work with the team to set priorities.
Collaborate directly with artists and supervisors to understand their work and build tools that fit how they actually work.
Requirements
Strong computer-science foundation: data structures, algorithms, and systems design, with the depth to build software that is correct and durable. This is the most heavily weighted requirement, and we welcome it from any domain (games, simulation, systems, graphics, backend).
Strong software-engineering practice: you write maintainable, well-tested code and design systems that last.
Professional Python experience for day-to-day development.
Depth in a systems / close-to-the-hardware la
