  • Solid understanding of DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and other lighting control protocols.
  • Experience with intelligent/dynamic lighting fixtures (e.g., moving heads, LED pixel arrays).
  • Familiarity with show control systems and syncing lighting to video or audio cues.
  • Knowledge of real-time rendering environments or streaming workflows is a plus.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to work under tight deadlines in a fast-paced tech-driven environment.

Preferred Skills:

  • Background in lighting design for gaming, broadcast, or esports.
  • Experience with Unreal Engine, Unity, or real-time virtual production tools.
  • Scripting or automation experience (e.g., Lua, Python for show control).
  • Understanding of color theory and visual storytelling in digital spaces.

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a cutting-edge company redefining how lighting enhances digital entertainment.
  • Work with an innovative, collaborative team of creators and technologists.
