Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and debugging skills in a production environment
Proven experience in a support setting
Ability to discuss technical issues with creative users
Familiarity with production/content management and versioning systems (e.g. ShotGrid, Ftrack)
Bonus points for:
Competency with web development frameworks (e.g. Flask, FastAPI)

Skills Interview: 60 minutes, for this role, this will be a live programming test with 1-2 of our current TD team. These tests skew more practical. We want to see strong problem solving skills, as this will tackle a typical problem you might be asked to solve in your day to day.
Team Interview: 60 minutes onsite Interview where you will meet some of your potential future colleagues. We will want to make sure that your ways of working will line up well with the team. This will also be a great chance to see the environment and meet some additional folks you could be working with.
Your Recruiter and hiring manager will be your main point of contact and prepare you for interviews. You’ll meet 4 to 6 people from across the business. (We make sure that you have time in each interview to ask them questions). If we don’t give an offer, we’ll provide feedback!
