WE'RE HIRING!

We at Side Effects Software are currently looking for a Houdini evangelist, to work full time out of our Santa Monica offices, in California. The essence of the role is to meet with our prospective and existing customers to explain and demonstrate Houdini’s capabilities and strengths as they pertain to the production environment. Sometimes this takes place in small group meetings. It can also involve presenting to large 3D community groups. Most of interactions will take place in LA, and as such we are looking to hire someone who is already based within commute distance of Santa Monica. This person will be working very closely with the locally-based Account Manager, who will be driving the priorities.

If you are well versed in CG production and understand pipelines, enjoy and can explain technical concepts easily, and are a big fan of Houdini, this opportunity may be of interest to you. Apart from working with a great group of people, this is a stimulating role combining the visually creative with industry-leading technology and the business of production, without the demanding overtime that is so commonly found in production. Your knowledge of Houdini will grow measurably, and your understanding of CG production will be honed by a wide variety of artists and management from the “A-list” of Hollywood film studios and the cutting-edge visual effects boutiques.

Side Effects Software is one of the pioneers in the field of 3D animation and visual effects. Our software has been used in more than 300 feature films and has twice been formally recognized by the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences. The company’s success comes largely from its employees who are bright, thoughtful, and passionate about what they do. As an independently owned company, we foster a culture of innovation and long-standing customer relationships. We’re dedicated to making the best products to help our customers deliver superb digital content.

If you have the desired skills and experience for this position and are interested in applying please send your resume, with reference to Houdini Evangelist – Santa Monica, to recruiting@sidefx.com for consideration.

We want to fill this opening as soon as possible therefore we are only considering candidates who have permission to work in the US.

Only successful candidates will be contacted for an interview.
