Strong experience building custom GUI applications and tools using PySide or PyQt.
Deep experience with the Nuke API, programmatic control, and workflow automation.
Practical experience deploying machine learning models directly into production pipelines.
Solid understanding of open-source VFX frameworks such as OpenImageIO, OpenColorIO, FFmpeg, and OpenRV.
Strong software engineering fundamentals in a Linux environment, including Git, code reviews, testing, and performance monitoring.
Approachable communication skills and a user-centric mindset when building tools for artists.

Hands-on experience with ComfyUI or Stable Diffusion for custom generative AI pipelines and node development.
Containerisation experience (Docker or similar) for deploying scalable machine learning inference services.
Experience with render farm queue managers such as Deadline or Tractor.
Web development skills using FastAPI, React, or similar for building pipeline dashboards.
Experience setting up CI/CD workflows in GitLab.
