CGI Artist

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. You're self-motivated yet collaborative, a strong communicator, and a sharp technical problem solver.

We're open to both full-time and contract opportunities.

Thuma’s Headquarters is based in the historic Presidio neighborhood of San Francisco. The role involves four days in the office each week and occasional additional days as needed.

In recognition of the personal and professional benefits that team members gain from time spent together in person, we organize a range of events throughout each year designed to bring our entire team together!

Key Responsibilities

• Produce high-fidelity 3D materials and models of complex forms — including soft goods
• Produce photorealistic renders and animations
• Help streamline 3D pipelines and post-production workflows
• Support storyboarding and image lists
• Collaborate with render partners as needed
• Manage external render projects as needed
  
  
  

This Might Describe You

• You're deeply detail-oriented
• Fluent in modern generative AI tools
• Drawn to design and architecture
• You work efficiently and independently
• Push for quality without needing to be asked
• You move fast and stay organized
• Have strong problem-solving skills
• Have strong interpersonal skills
  
  
  

What You'll Need

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
