Blender Specialist
About the role
As a Blender Specialist at SME Careers, you will design and record realistic Blender tasks to help train and benchmark AI agents in professional 3D workflows. Your responsibilities include authoring production-realistic Blender briefs, recording expert demonstrations using provided tools, documenting workflows, and defining objective success criteria for each task. The role also offers progression into QA and QA lead positions, where you may review and audit others' work for quality and completeness. SME Careers is a fast-growing AI data services company, and your work will directly contribute to improving leading AI models' ability to use complex creative software like Blender.
Must have
- 2–5 years of professional experience as a Blender-focused 3D artist (contract, studio, or freelance), or equivalent demonstrable practical experience.
- Proven proficiency in Blender for production work: modeling and clean topology, modifiers, UV unwrapping, materials and shading, lighting, and rendering in Cycles and/or EEVEE.
- Strong troubleshooting instincts — you can recognize and explain bad topology, shading and normals problems, scale inconsistencies, and non-manifold geometry, not just avoid them.
- A computer you can install our recording tools on and work in daily: Windows 11, Ubuntu (X11), or macOS. Batches are assigned by operating system, and hardware capable of running Blender comfortably alongside a screen recorder is required.
- English proficiency: minimum B2, with the written clarity to document a workflow another expert can reproduce.
- Ability to apply detailed rubrics consistently and make repeatable quality judgments across many similar tasks.
- Highly detail-oriented and self-directed, with strong asynchronous work habits for remote, flexible-hour contract work.
Nice to have
- Previous experience with AI data training, annotation, evaluation, or benchmark work.
