• Contribute to defining product scope, direction, and priorities;

What we’re looking for

• Proficient with object-oriented programming and API design;
• Experience designing, developing, and maintaining sophisticated systems on multiple platforms;

• Ability to communicate clearly, self-organize, and collaborate with minimal guidance.

You might also have

• Experience working with Unity or another realtime engine;
• Experience with film/animation industry software (e.g. Maya, Houdini, Nuke, or Katana), offline renderers (e.g. Arnold, RenderMan, or other) and file formats (e.g. OpenEXR, Alembic, USD);
