Framestore's R&D department is looking to recruit Software Engineers to work on our in-house technology stack used for Look-Development & Lighting by all our film departments. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in the future of the lighting tools we use at Framestore that go on to assist in creating world class VFX for films such as Thor, Fantastic Beasts 2 and Blade Runner 2049.

This software forms the core of our Lighting workflow and is used across the Framestore's film offices and integrates closely with our pipeline and in-house renderer.

The software also includes much of our other in-house technology, such as our fur/feather software, our environment/baking tools and various proprietary file formats. As a result, these positions present a great opportunity to contribute to a state-of-the-art application being used in high-end film production.

The position requires strong C++ development experience, as well as experience of working alongside other software engineers to design & maintain high-quality tools.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with the rest of the R&D team to plan, develop and maintain the application
• Interact with our artists, and other software development teams, to ensure the application meets their requirements
• Keep up to date with the state of the art in CG production technology to help ensure our toolset remain competitive
• Contribute technical and user documentation

Skills and Experience:

• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related fields
• At least 3 years of C++ development experience
• Qt development experience
• Experience of OpenGL development
• Expertise with the development, and performance optimisation, of multi-threaded code
• Linux development experience
• Familiarity with CG terminology

The ideal candidate would also possess some combination of:
