We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the team that develops and maintains the framework that Presto and its user interface are built upon.
As a Software Engineer on the Application Framework team, you will work on developing and improving the software framework that underpins many of our custom, in-house, film-making applications like Presto. You will be part of a multi-functional team of developers and UI/UX designers, and help craft and implement robust, easy-to-maintain code.
Do you love building highly technical user interfaces? Are you enthusiastic about extensible software architecture and API design? Are you excited to collaborate with designers and artists to bring cutting-edge filmmaking tools to life? If so, we would love to have you on our team!
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Contribute to world-class 3D graphics software applications and frameworks that enable and support Pixar’s film production
Collaborate with a team of engineers, designers, technical artists, QA, build support and project management
Bring technical user interfaces to life with the help of specifications and human interface guidelines created in collaboration with our designers
Turn common user interface and workflow patterns into reusable software frameworks, and help ensure a consistent experience for our artists and technical users
Join forces with valued external partners, and help improve applications deployed with our open-source USD distribution
QUALIFICATIONS:
A strong understanding of C++ that you are continually expanding upon; experience with modern C++ and the STL
Experience with Python and exposure to bridging C++ data types and functions to Python
Familiarity with Qt or a comparable software framework for creating graphical user interfaces
A passion for crafting high-quality code with attention to detail, readability and performance in mind
A high bar when it comes to engineering methodologies, like writing maintainable code, providing good documentation and embracing automated testing
Experience building software holistically: From planning and proposal to implementation, testing, optimization and deployment
Collaborative spirit, in an environment where you exchange knowledge with accomplished peers, and draw inspiration from amazing artists and designers
The ability to listen well and communicate clearly and succinctly
Experience working with UI/UX designers and familiarity with UX best practices is a plus
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience or education

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
