Lead Software Engineer responsible for developing and optimizing SaaS products at Huron. Collaborating across teams to ensure performance, scalability, and user experience.
About the role
- 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.
- The latest and best office equipment.
