A unique role, problem solving and putting 3D SDKs through their paces

This is a role for an engaged, pragmatic software developer who would enjoy creating high quality sample code and demos for a top-of-the-line 3D modelling SDK. You’d get to speak with developers at client companies, go to conferences, and show client developers how to make the most of this advanced toolkit.

You may be a fresh graduate or PhD who is already an enthusiastic and prolific developer, or a senior engineer looking for something new. You’ll be a problem solver, able to work out how to solve client problems with the advanced tools at your disposal. You’ll be someone pragmatic, keen to create high quality code, and open minded as to programming languages. One project may be a C# or C++ desktop application showcasing 3D technologies, the next using WebGL and JavaScript.

Ideally, you’ll be happy to travel up to 25% of your time as the company has clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas, and there are relevant conferences at which you may be an asset. However, a lot of communication can be done remotely.

Ultimately one of your goals is to understand client needs and show them why they should bring their business to your company, and work with them when they do. You’ll show demos, build prototypes and examples, and show people what the SDK is capable of. This isn’t a “sales” job, since you can talk in practical terms to fellow coders, but it is about representing your company well.

Another goal is to build a library of great demos, examples and solutions that you and the company can be proud of.

You’ll have a good relevant degree, commercial software development experience, and you’ll be self-motivated, confident, get on with people, build good relationships and be quick at thinking on your feet. You’ll have a strong grasp of 3D maths, particularly for geometry and trigonometry. You’ll understand spatial data structures. Ideal languages and tools might include: C, C++, C# and/or JavaScript; MFC, WPF, Qt; OpenGL, WebGL, Vulkan or DirectX; Unreal, Unity or other game engines, or CAD software experience. In terms of coding approach, you’ll like a free rein but be able to produce properly decoupled, SOLID and legible solutions.
