"Disney Animation will be at SIGGRAPH 2006 Boston from August 1st through
3rd and would like to meet with you! If you would like to interview with
us in Boston, please contact us today!
We are currently looking for GRAPHICS SOFTWARE ENGINEERS, PROCESS TOOLS
SOFTWARE ENGINEERS, and LINUX KERNEL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERS to
join the team at our Burbank, CA studio.
GRAPHICS SOFTWARE ENGINEERS are responsible for analyzing production
procedures and problems, evaluating the effectiveness of existing
systems, and making recommendations to improve output, efficiency, and
workflow. They partner with production personnel to determine user needs
and review system capabilities to decide what changes can be made within
the existing systems and when new systems must be added. Graphics
Software Engineers will often work with developers and/or end-users on
multiple films. Design responsibilities include the creation of new C,
C++, Mel, Perl or Python code or the modification of existing code,
whichever meets productions needs in the timeliest manner. Regression
testing and analyzing of software, code check-in/integration, and
distribution are part of the SWE's implementation responsibilities.
Experience with commercial 3D packages such as Maya (preferred), Houdini
or Softimage and with the development of 3D graphics applications is
required."

They used Linux because it was the best aviable, but it still sucks.
They are looking for improvements in debugging tools (basicly gdb is god-awful in their opinion) and such and are willing to pay people to help make it happen.
Anybody want to be paid to advance the state-of-art in Linux debugging tools? :-)
