Core Services is looking for a Software Developer to join its Show Systems domain and work on our Resource Projections project.
The Core Services group provides foundational technologies to other technology groups within DNEG. We are a team of software developers who architect, build and provide geographically spread, enterprise-level, mission-critical infrastructure. We create services, frameworks, and products that other teams rely upon to build and deliver their technology solutions. We are the core of all things technology at DNEG.
The Show Systems domain with Core Services provides full-stack products that are custom built to DNEG’s requirements. Our products are used across the company for data migration, data archival, disk space management, and resource planning. They are critical to the operations of the company and include web apps, traditional desktop applications, and command-line tools.
The goal of the Resource Projections project is to develop a new framework for projecting future resource usage based on show staffing and complexity estimates. The resources that we are interested in include both hardware (for example workstations, disk space, graphics cards, and renderfarm nodes) and software (software requirements typically vary per artist task).
Experience in the VFX industry is not a prerequisite for this role.
You will:
Participate in the design and architecture of a prediction framework capable of predicting future requirements for hardware and software based on project staffing and schedules.
Lead the implementation of the framework, resource types, and prediction methods identified through the design process.
Lead the deployment of these services into the production environment.
Provide sprint-based updates on tasks’ progress.
Write documentation for developed software, create and update troubleshooting playbooks.
Troubleshoot issues that have been raised during development and after deployment.
Coordinate and work with teams in remote sites in different time zones.
