We're looking for a CGI Artist who thrives at being both highly-creative and technical. You'll collaborate closely with fellow CGI Artists, Industrial Designers, and Program Managers to produce high-fidelity 3D assets, photorealistic renders, and captivating animations that will appear across our brand and marketing channels. You bring deep expertise in leading 3D modeling, rendering, and image editing software, and you thrive under tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.

  • Produce photorealistic renders and animations
  • Help streamline 3D pipelines and post-production workflows

Your portfolio reflects an exceptional eye for craft - the kind of elevated, editorially-driven work that defines brands known for setting the visual standard. You understand what it means to produce imagery with real art direction behind it: considered, polished, and unmistakably intentional. That level of taste and execution is what you bring to every project.

Additionally:

  • 3+ years of experience as a CGI Artist
  • Proficiency in Blender or confidence in becoming proficient within a 2-month timeframe
  • Ability to design and execute compelling motion graphics
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite
  • Strong color editing and correction skills
  • Experience using render farms
  • Skilled at working to a brief and hitting deadlines
  • Experience leading end-to-end 3D and 2D production workflows
  • A sharp eye for accurately scoping turnaround time
Why Join Us
  • 401(k): Participation in our 401(k) program with company matching up to 6% of your contributions.
  • Benefits*: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with generous employer contributions, 100% paid parental leave, and company-sponsored One Medical and WellHub memberships.
  • Equity: Participation in employee stock option plan.
  • Flexible by Design: We operate with a high-performance mindset, paired with thoughtful flexibility-flexible hours, flexible PTO, and a hybrid approach that supports both focus and balance.
  • Time to Recharge: Enjoy 13 company holidays each year to rest, reset, and celebrate what matters most.
  • Employee Discount**: 40% off almost all Thuma products.
  • Cell Phone Stipend: $100 per month to support work-related phone use.
