Technical Director
at Industrial Light & Magic in Vancouver, you will independently design and execute complex, photorealistic visual effects—including particle systems, fluid dynamics, and rigid body destructions for major feature films. Operating within a flexible hybrid work structure (2–3 days onsite per week).
This role requires a deep technical and artistic mastery of software like Houdini or Maya, fluency in Linux and Python scripting, and the capability to guide shots through lighting, rendering, and mid-level compositing. Beyond your individual technical contributions, you will collaborate closely with supervisors across the pipeline, provide accurate production estimates, and actively mentor junior artists.
