Rodeo FX is an award-winning creative company offering services in visual effects, animation, advertising and experiential. We partner with some of the world's leading storytellers and entertainment companies, including Netflix, HBO, Disney, Marvel, Amazon Studios, Warner Bros. and Sony.
In 2026, Rodeo FX opened its newest studio in Bengaluru, expanding our global network across Canada, the United States, Europe and India. Located in International Tech Park Bengaluru, the new 40,000-square-foot studio is designed to accommodate up to 400 artists and supports both Rodeo FX and Mikros Animation.
Our Bengaluru team is fully integrated into Rodeo FX's global pipeline, collaborating with artists, supervisors and production teams across our international studios on incredible projects.
We're now building the senior creative and technical leadership for this studio. Joining us at this stage means having the opportunity not only to contribute to world-class projects, but also to help shape the team, workflows and culture of a growing global hub.
Work arrangements:
As an artist-founded and artist-led company, creativity is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to give our talent the freedom, resources, and environment they need to produce high-quality work and thrive in a stimulating, collaborative, and supportive setting.
To support close collaboration, strong team connections, and the creative energy of our studio, all Bengaluru roles are expected to work from the studio five days per week. This on-site presence helps foster effective communication, faster decision-making, knowledge sharing, and a consistent studio culture across teams.
The Animation Supervisor at Rodeo FX is responsible for the creative direction, technical integrity, and timely delivery of all animation work on a show. Acting as both an artistic leader and a strategic project partner, they oversee the animation team, guide key creative decisions, and ensure that the department delivers consistently high-quality results that align with both the client’s vision and Rodeo FX’s standards. They work closely with artists, production, CG and VFX supervisors, and other departments to design effective workflows, manage priorities, and resolve challenges as they arise. While they drive planning and mentoring efforts, they remain capable of hands-on work and directly contribute to complex shots when needed.
