Full job description

What we’re up to at Untold
We’re a creative community. A team of world-class talent, the best creative clients and an exciting future. We are a studio which has our people and our culture at its heart.

Our purpose is to do brilliant creative work, to make content that audiences want to watch. And to have fun while we’re doing it.

Untold Studios operates entirely in the cloud across Commercials, Feature Films and Episodic work for major streamers. As the generative AI space accelerates, we’re building a serious, production-grade AI tooling capability — and this role is central to it.

The Role

This is a show-level role. You will take direct ownership of F&E rig pipelines from brief to delivery, lead riggers on production across a diverse range of creature and character work, develop technical solutions to meet complex rig requirements, and play a meaningful part in the continued development of our proprietary rigging system alongside your show responsibilities.

You’ll work closely with CG Supervisors and Production teams. You understand enough about the production context to make decisions about what gets built, how it gets deployed, and what the artist experience should look like.

You are a highly motivated problem solving individual. You thrive in leading a close knit team to find solutions to complex Rigging challenges. Your experience ensures that their implementation is done in the most comprehensive way.

Your Key Responsibilities

Own the rigging pipeline on F&E productions end to end, from asset brief through to shot finalling
Lead and mentor junior and mid-level riggers across your shows
Build Python rigging tools and modules to production standard
Develop technical solutions to meet complex rig requirements and maximise efficiency
Contribute to the ongoing development of our proprietary rigging system alongside show work
Hold the creative & technical bar on your shows — asset sign-off, shot finalling triage, retake decisions.
Collaborate with CG Supervisors and the Head of Rigging on technical direction

Required Skills and Experience

Proven Features and Episodic rigging experience
Strong Python skills, comfortable writing rigging modules, classes and tools from scratch
Experience leading riggers on production and owning a show independently
Maya proficiency is an absolute must

With a strong background in:

Procedural and modular rig construction
Creature and character deformation & control systems
Show pipeline ownership and cross-department communication

Nice to have

OpenMaya
C++ Maya plugin development
Feature animation experience
Crowd rigging experience
Mocap retargeting experience

Why you?

You care about craft and code in equal measure — the rig and the system that builds it both matter to you.
You take ownership and don't wait to be told what needs fixing.
You're comfortable carrying technical ambition into a fast-moving production environment — dev work happens around show demands, not in spite of them.
You bring others up with you — mentoring is something you do naturally, not reluctantly.

Why us?

We believe in Creativity. We believe Creativity is the differentiator. It is at the heart of every part of our studio.

We look out for Each other. Through shared values, purpose and passion we believe in the power of the team to create the extraordinary.

We care about Innovation. We believe in ourselves to grow, to always improve, to strive to be faster, better, smarter.

Optimism. We are big on ambition. We believe in the future.

Untold Studios is committed to a policy of equal opportunity in all aspects of recruitment and employment regardless of age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy or maternity, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief or disability (whether registered as disabled or not). If you would like to know more about how we approach equal opportunities, please let us know.
