Responsable technique VFX

1perTInent is hiring a Responsable technique VFX to join their team remotely from Montreal, QC. This role sits at the intersection of VFX pipeline architecture and cloud infrastructure, translating the technical needs of animation and VFX studios into high-performance GPU environments built for production-scale rendering workloads. It suits a pipeline technical director or senior VFX systems specialist who has lived inside a studio environment and knows how to build systems that artists actually want to use.

About the Role

The Responsable technique VFX works directly with partner studios during their onboarding to a sovereign, GPU-accelerated cloud platform designed for VFX production, 3D animation, and digital media pipelines. Day to day, this means auditing existing studio workflows, deploying virtual workstations and render environments tailored to each production context, and feeding real production feedback into the platform’s product team. The role bridges the gap between software engineering and the realities of running a live VFX pipeline.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the technical onboarding of VFX and animation studio clients, ensuring their production pipelines migrate smoothly onto the cloud GPU infrastructure.
• Audit and analyze existing VFX workflows covering 3D, compositing, and render farm operations, then deploy optimized virtual desktop infrastructure environments suited to each studio’s needs.
• Write and maintain Python scripts to automate recurring pipeline tasks and reduce manual overhead across client environments.
• Design and implement high-performance system architectures incorporating GPU virtualization, distributed storage, and Linux and Windows server administration.
• Act as the internal technical reference for cloud GPU architecture, sharing knowledge across engineering and product teams.
• Produce clear technical documentation and best-practice guides that both VFX artists and network engineers can follow.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience working inside a VFX studio, animation studio, video game production, or digital media environment.
• Hands-on fluency with industry tools including Houdini, Nuke, Blender, or After Effects, with a clear understanding of how render pipelines are structured around them.
• Advanced Python scripting skills and solid Linux and Windows server administration experience.
• Working knowledge of cloud GPU architecture, virtualization, and distributed storage systems.
• Experience with render farm management tools such as Deadline is a strong asset, as is familiarity with the NVIDIA GPU ecosystem.
• French fluency is required; English is a meaningful asset in this role.

The role is fully remote with flexible scheduling, and the work directly touches studios producing content at an international level. For a technical specialist looking to move beyond a single studio context and shape how the broader VFX industry approaches cloud production, this is a substantive next step.
