CG Generalist - Surfacing & Look Development (Remote ±1 UTC)

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

Algorithm is a Dublin-based production company creating immersive media for hemispherical Full Dome projection. We are looking for a mid-level CG Generalist with a specialism in surfacing, look development, and rendering to join us immediately on a contract through early November. Working under the Digital Imaging Supervisor, you will be responsible for establishing and maintaining the visual quality of assets and environments across the production — ensuring everything holds up under the scrutiny of a large-format immersive screen. For questions and consideration, please email CV and Reel if available to jobs@algorithm.ie

Responsibilities

• Lead surfacing and look development for characters, assets, and environments across the production.
• Build and maintain shaders and materials in Redshift, establishing a consistent visual language that serves the project’s aesthetic.
• Work closely with the Digital Imaging Supervisor to define and uphold the look of the production from asset through final render.
• Set up and execute lighting and rendering for environments and asset-heavy shots, optimising for quality and render efficiency.
• Collaborate with the broader CG team on asset integration, ensuring surfaces, materials, and environments read correctly in context.
• Maintain clean, well-organised scene and asset files; adhere to production naming conventions and handoff standards.
• Contribute generalist CG support across other areas of the pipeline as capacity allows.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of CG production experience in animation, VFX, or immersive media.
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Maya, with particular depth in surfacing, asset work, and environment assembly.
• Demonstrable Redshift expertise in shading, look development, lighting, and rendering — a portfolio showing environment and asset work is essential.
• A sharp eye for material quality, surface detail, and how assets read under varied lighting conditions and at large scale.
• Comfortable working as a generalist beyond your specialism — able to contribute across the pipeline when needed.
• Reliable and self-directed in a remote environment; able to take direction well and adapt to evolving production needs.
• Prior dome or wide-format experience is not required.
