Software Engineer, 3D Environments (24607)
This pioneering company is creating a revolutionary platform for autonomous, networked digital agents, drawing on blockchain technology. As part of this they are exploring new frontiers for interaction and are seeking a skilled developer with experience creating virtual worlds. Founders are industry veterans, including people with games industry experience.
You will have:
- A good degree in computing or a related subject from a top university
- Commercial experience as a C++ software engineer
- Significant expertise with C++, including not only STL fundamentals and (where appropriate) Boost but a detailed knowledge of the language and creating performant and low-overhead C++ code
- At least some awareness of relevant C++ 11, 14, or 17 features
- An understanding of the mechanics of 3D engines such as Unreal / UE4 and Unity / Unity3D; in addition, you will have the expertise to prototype engines from scratch given sufficient resources, though you will recognise the pitfalls of both home grown and third party 3D engines
- A sufficient understanding of OpenGL / DirectX / Vulkan / Metal – including vertex / index / geometry buffers, rather than simple direct primitives
- An understanding of networking, including at least TCP/IP vs UDP for different applications
