Job Details
In this role, you’ll create software that automatically generates 3D environments or objects. Your software will use real-world data to make environments more realistic. The output is compatible with 3D platforms like Unreal and Unity, or as standalone models. You’ll work closely with Pipeline and AI/ML teams to improve the 3D data flow in our production process.
Develop procedural generation techniques and software for Unreal, Unity, or raw mesh output, using semantic data instead of random numbers.
Solve technical challenges to balance visual quality, realism, and performance in modern game engines.
Contribute to Pipeline and AI/ML design & road-mapping for a game environment-compatible data pipeline.
Partner closely with leadership to understand the product vision.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field
- Minimum 3+ years of relevant industry experience, ideally in a fast-paced, high-growth tech environment
- Experience with Houdini, Unreal Engine, Unity, or similar game engines
- Proficiency in developing interactive applications, optimizing performance, and implementing real-time 3D graphics and gameplay features
- Extensive experience with procedural generation tools (e.g., Houdini, Unreal Engine's PCG, Blender) is preferred.
- Proficient in C++ with a solid understanding of the ecosystem.
Desired Characteristics:
- Enthusiasm for automated development processes and systems
- Team-oriented and collaborative approach
