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!
