About the role

• Senior 3D Graphics Pipeline Engineer developing tools for 3D data processing in transformative AI company. Collaborating on pipeline architecture to enhance large-scale datasets for AI models.

Responsibilities

• Design and build robust, scalable tools and pipelines for 3D data editing, cleaning, and transformation.
• Enable efficient processing of large datasets, ensuring assets are optimized for downstream AI training, simulation, or rendering workflows.
• Establish and enforce standards for geometry, UV layouts, LODs, topology, textures, and asset metadata—aligned with AAA game or VFX production pipelines.
• Identify and resolve common asset quality issues like non-manifold geometry, inconsistent scales, broken UVs, missing maps, or inefficient mesh topology.
• Closely partner with research teams to align curation guidelines with model training needs; translate production requirements into actionable filtering rules and pipeline designs.
• Work hand-in-hand with the data team to implement cleaning workflows, asset validation tools, and curation strategies.
• Develop and maintain pipeline integrations between key 3D DCC tools (Houdini, Blender, Maya) and custom processing frameworks.
• Automate asset transformations such as format conversions, polygon decimation, UV re-packing, and LOD generation.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience in AAA game studios, VFX pipelines, or comparable high-quality 3D production environments.
• Proficiency in C++ and scripting languages (Python, Javascript), with demonstrable experience developing production tools or plugins for DCCs.
• Deep understanding of the end-to-end 3D production pipeline: modeling, texturing, topology, LOD creation, asset optimization.
• Practical familiarity with Houdini, Blender, and Maya, including scripting or tool creation within those environments.
• Well-organized and experienced in documentation, asset management, and version control (Git).

Benefits

• Competitive salary, benefits and stock options.
• 401(k) plan for employees.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
