Senior Pipeline Technical Architect
The role
Wander is building its production infrastructure from the ground up and we're looking for a Pipeline Architect to lead that work. This is a foundational role: you will be designing and implementing the systems the studio runs on.
The scope covers file handling and naming conventions, software integration, production tracking, asset management, and the connective tissue between tools. We are a small studio with high ambitions for what our pipeline can support. We want someone who can build lean, robust systems that scale, not someone who will recreate a large-facility pipeline in miniature.
You likely have
- Experience building or significantly contributing to VFX or post-production pipelines in a professional studio context
- Strong Python skills and experience scripting across DCC applications
- Practical knowledge of production tracking tools: ShotGrid/Flow, ftrack, or equivalent
- An understanding of file system architecture, naming conventions, and asset versioning at production scale
- The ability to work across departments and translate creative and production requirements into technical solutions
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Nice to have
- Experience integrating third-party APIs and cloud-based tools into production pipelines
- Familiarity with generative AI tooling and the specific pipeline considerations it introduces
- Experience in a startup or early-stage studio environment
The environment
This is a rare opportunity to build a pipeline from first principles rather than inherit someone else's technical debt. You will have significant influence over the tools and systems the studio adopts and the approach will be shaped by your judgement as much as by prescription.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We want someone who thinks about pipeline as a creative problem: how do we build infrastructure that serves the work rather than constraining it.
