Taking shots from setup through to final, with minimal hand-holding.
Working closely with Supes to get things looking right while keeping things efficient.
Keeping your setups clean, readable and production-friendly.
Must have:

3 years production experience (minimum).
Strong Houdini skills across the usual FX toolsets (Pyro, FLIP, RBD, particles, etc.).
Comfortable owning your work and managing your time.
A good eye for what makes FX feel right in feature animation, not just technically correct.
Nice to have:

VEX and/or Python knowledge.
Familiarity with Maya.
Feature or high-end episodic experience.
Details:

Level: Junior / Mid / Senior
Contract: ASAP - Feb 27
Salary: Negotiable

Whilst these are fully remote positions, due to the way this project is funded candidates MUST be physically based in the UK or EU to be eligible and a preference will be given to UK-based candidates.
