I'm pretty sure they would be looking for people that are available over the next couple months.
There are a couple different departments that write code at Weta. One is focused on Research and Development, working on larger projects that may implement white papers, applications that deal with rendering, etc, and extensively use C++. Another department focuses on Web services specifically servicing the Production needs and serving official Production tracked data. Production Engineering is the general facility pipeline department, which glues together all of the other departments and workflows. We primary have products written in Python, but our team is pretty diverse. We also have C/C++/Java/Go/JavaScript/Perl(legacy) code that we write and maintain. It comes down to the write tool for the job, and the team is pretty open to being introduced to new ideas. Not everyone knows everything, but if you are looking to improve on a specific area, then it is usually not a problem for you to get onto a given project that offers what you want. We also have a pretty diverse stack of tools. PySide/PyQt, various Web frameworks like bottle/flask/tornado/Spring(java), messaging frameworks like amqp/0mq, databases like postgres/mysql/elastic/sqlite Team members may choose to demo/share new tools or just use them successfully to make a case. I would say it is a good place if you like a challenge and want to learn more. It is such a large facility that when you write code, you have to consider that 1000+ people may be using it, and it may be used on the render farm. It could be a service that will get pounded by 60k+ cpus or a tool that will pound on some other service, or the filers. Let me know if you have any other questions!
