Animation Job Openings

Netflix is hiring for multiple animation job openings at its Vancouver studio, spanning technical direction, engineering, production, and artist management. These roles sit across the full animation production pipeline, from pre-production technical work and rigging through to lighting, rendering, and post engineering. The positions suit animation, VFX, and post-production professionals who want to work inside a major studio’s feature animation operation rather than on a contract-to-contract vendor basis.

About the Role

The animation job openings at Netflix Vancouver cover a wide spread of departments, including software engineering for rendering and production systems, technical direction across core assets, lighting, and performance, and production-side roles in outreach, events, and workflow education. Most of these positions feed directly into Netflix’s feature animation pipeline, which is building out its Vancouver presence as a primary production hub. A typical day depends heavily on the role, but across the board these positions require people who are comfortable working inside a large-scale animation studio infrastructure where technical and creative workflows intersect constantly.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Directors in this intake will work across Houdini-based FX, core asset systems, lighting pipelines, and pre-production setups depending on the specific role.
• Software Engineers will develop and maintain tools supporting rendering and production systems within the animation pipeline.
• Associate Technical Supervisors will manage front-end, back-end, and performance streams within the broader technical supervision structure on feature animation productions.
• The Animation Supervisor will oversee animation performance and quality across sequences, working directly with directors and department leads.
• The Production Management Workflows Specialist will develop and deliver education programs tied to production tracking and workflow systems used across the studio.
• The Outreach and Events Coordinator will manage community-facing programs and industry events on behalf of Netflix Animation Studios in Vancouver.

What You Bring

• Background in feature film production, episodic animation, or VFX pipeline work at a studio or vendor level.
• Proficiency in Houdini is required for the FX Technical Director role specifically.
• Software engineering candidates should have experience building production systems tools within an animation or VFX environment.
• Artist management and production roles require direct experience coordinating talent or workflows inside a structured animation studio.
• Eligibility to work in Canada and based in or able to relocate to Vancouver.

Why This Role

Netflix Animation Studios is scaling its Vancouver footprint as part of a longer-term commitment to building feature animation capacity in Canada, which means these roles carry genuine institutional weight rather than being short-term gap hires. The range of animation job openings available right now reflects the breadth of the studio’s technical and production infrastructure, offering real lateral and upward movement for the right candidates. No salary or compensation range was listed in the source materials, so applicants should confirm those details directly during the process.
