The role
Own the cloud render pipeline behind every 4K export and every shot Nova generates. Fully remote.
As Staff Rendering Engineer, fully remote, you will own the cloud render pipeline: scheduling, GPU utilization, encoding and the cost of every minute rendered. It sits behind every export and every shot Nova generates.
The problem
Render volume grew four times in a year. We need someone who enjoys finding the next thirty percent, and who can explain the trade-offs to the rest of the company.
Your first six months
A median 4K, 60fps export under ninety seconds, queue times that stay flat during launches, and a render bill that grows slower than usage.

Ravi Menon, Lead Engineer
