DreamWorks Animation is looking for more adventurous dreamers who shoot for the moon. We tell stories about the journeys our unconventional heroes take to make dreams come true. As a growth-minded studio, we pride ourselves on being one of the world's leading producers of high-quality, award-winning, animated films and series, reaching consumers around the globe. We push to feel more, laugh more, and build immersive new worlds.
DreamWorks creates a diverse array of original content in a variety of formats, delivering compelling stories with unique characters. We place tremendous value on the experiences our talent brings to the table from their own non-traditional paths to success. We believe in frequent communication and that transparency and trust yield the best work. We are a community of artists, technologists, innovators, and creators, who are passionate about animation and also happen to love eating lunch together.
Technical Resource Administrators (TRAs) support the 24x7 rendering production of DreamWorks' animated feature films. TRAs touch all aspects of the technical production pipeline and are often the first line of troubleshooting for render related issues. They have broad interaction with production artists from fx, animation, lighting, layout and modeling departments as well as technical directors and technology teams.
