LAIKA Studios is a Hillsboro, Oregon animation studio whose stack pairs production tools (Maya, Houdini, RenderMan, ShotGrid, Perforce) with a custom pipeline layer in Python, C++, PyQt, Django and React. Job posts point to an internal-tools adoption problem: teams aren't consistently using studio systems, so engineering is building rollout and training resources. Hiring has slowed, with remaining openings in engineering and EHS-style operations.
LAIKA Studios produces animated feature films, with stop motion, CG, 2D and 3D among its specialties, and is expanding into live action and television. The privately held studio is headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon, near Portland, employs 201–500 people and was founded in 2005. Production runs on Maya, Houdini, RenderMan, ShotGrid and Avid Media Composer on Rocky Linux. Business operations use Dynamics 365, UKG, Power BI, Airtable and DocuSign.
