Algorithm hiring CG / VFX GENERALIST

CG / VFX GENERALIST
Full Dome / Immersive Media Production • Remote • Dublin-Based Production • Immediate Start through November

We are a Dublin-based production company creating immersive media for hemispherical Full Dome projection.
We are seeking a mid-level CG / VFX Generalist with particular strength in FX, simulations, and lighting to join us
immediately on a contract through early November. Working under the Digital Imaging Supervisor, you will
contribute across the CG pipeline while bringing specialist depth in effects and rendering — the kind of work that
gives immersive productions their scale and atmosphere. For more information and consideration, please email CV and Reel if available to jobs@algorithm.ie

Responsibilities

• Create and execute FX and simulation work in Maya — including particles, fluids, dynamics, and
  destruction — to production standard and schedule.
• Set up and render FX-heavy and effects-driven shots in Redshift, optimising for quality and render
  efficiency.
• Light and render a range of shot types, maintaining visual consistency with the established look of the
  production.
• Collaborate with the Digital Imaging Supervisor and TD on integrating FX elements into the broader CG
  pipeline.
• Contribute generalist CG support across other areas of production as needed — this is a flexible, hands-on
  role.
• Maintain clean, well-organised scene files and meet production handoff standards consistently.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of CG/VFX production experience in animation, film, broadcast, or immersive media.
• Solid proficiency in Autodesk Maya with demonstrated strength in FX and simulation — particles, fluids,
  nCloth, nParticles, Bifrost, or similar.
• Strong Redshift skills across lighting, shading, and rendering of complex, effects-driven scenes.
• A good eye for how FX and lighting contribute to the overall feel of a shot — technically precise but visually
  aware.
• Comfortable working as a generalist beyond your specialism, pitching in across the pipeline where needed.
• Self-directed and reliable in a remote environment; able to manage your own workload and communicate
  clearly on progress.
• Prior dome or wide-format experience is not required.
