Software Developer

We are seeking a seasoned software developer to implement and maintain the core technical systems driving our artworks. This role requires a versatile engineer fluent in C++, Python, and C#, with a focus on creating, extending, and maintaining Unreal Engine plugins and custom tools., * Engine Extension: Create, extend, and maintain Unreal Engine plugins and custom tools (C++/Python/C#) to expand the engine's native capabilities for specific artistic requirements.

• Sensor Integration: Develop robust pipelines to integrate external sensors (cameras, Lidar, custom electronics) directly into Unreal Engine to drive real-time interactivity.
• Cross-Platform Architecture: Architect systems that are fluent in both Windows and Linux environments, ensuring stability for diverse exhibition hardware.
• Mathematical knowledge: Apply solid mathematical knowledge (linear algebra, 3D math) to solve complex problems regarding spatial tracking, sensor data interpretation, and visual output.
• Maintenance & Optimization: Maintain codebases for long-term stability and optimize performance for real-time execution in continuous exhibition settings.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the electronics and production teams to ensure software seamlessly communicates with custom hardware and physical builds.

Do you have experience in Windows?, * Extensive software development experience with fluency in C++, Python, and C#.

• Proven experience with Unreal Engine, specifically in authoring custom plugins and extending engine functionality (beyond standard Blueprints).
• Fluency in Windows and Linux environments (command line, OS architecture, and deployment).
• Solid mathematical knowledge relevant to 3D graphics, spatial tracking, and interactive systems.
• Strong engineering habits (testing, documentation, version control for tools).

Desirable

• Experience with computer vision and pose estimation (e.g., skeleton tracking) for interactive inputs.
• Experience working with the NVIDIA Jetson platform.
• Knowledge of Gstreamer pipelines, specifically within embedded platforms.
• Understanding of Generative AI pipelines and their integration into real-time workflows.
• Prior experience working in parallel with platform, hardware and installation workflows.
