This is an excellent opportunity to apply experience from games, simulation, VFX or virtual production to challenging AI projects with genuine real-world applications. You will work alongside Unreal Developers, AI Researchers, Computer Vision Specialists, 3D Artists and Python/C++ Engineers to develop an automated platform for generating high-quality synthetic datasets. The platform controls object placement, camera movement, lighting, weather conditions, image capture and automated scene generation at scale. You will help transform an existing research platform into scalable, maintainable production software that can be used by both technical and non-technical users. The position is predominantly office and customer-site based in West London, although some remote working will be available. Unreal Engine Developer responsibilities * Develop and improve Unreal Engine 5 applications for synthetic imagery generation. * Automate object placement, cameras, lighting, weather and image-capture workflows. * Transform an existing research platform into scalable production software. * Work with AI and Machine Learning Engineers to optimise synthetic training datasets. * Improve development, rendering and asset-production workflows. * Develop intuitive tools that allow users to configure and generate synthetic imagery. * Contribute to software architecture, technical design and product direction. * Build and support CI/CD and containerised deployment processes. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - "Fun and games - and all that comes with it", Back to BASIC & more](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1719-wearedevelopers-live-fun-and-games-and-all-that-comes-with-it-back-to-basic-more) - [Behind the Curtain: How Recruiters Shortlist Devs in an AI-Driven Market and How You Stand Out](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100229-behind-the-curtain-how-recruiters-shortlist-devs-in-an-ai-driven-market-and-how-you-stand-out) - [Dizzy users close browsers: balancing creativity and accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/803-dizzy-users-close-browsers-balancing-creativity-and-accessibility) - [The Impact of AI on Game Development and the Industry](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100297-the-impact-of-ai-on-game-development-and-the-industry) - [The Future Past of Technology - A Game Developers POV](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1386-the-future-past-of-technology-a-game-developers-pov) - [The Story of Games](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/226-the-story-of-games) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk)
