• Partner with engine developers, integrating creator‑focused systems into our core engine architecture to enable generative creation workflows.
• Work closely with senior engineers in translating prototypes into production‑ready engine features, ensuring alignment with existing systems.
• Focus on improving a single engine domain, one of tools, data pipelines, or runtime systems.
• Under guidance from Senior Engineers, design extensible interfaces that allow rapid iteration on new technologies while learning about the correct architectural decisions.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• Experience in AAA game engines (e.g., Frostbite, Unreal) or comparable, large‑scale, real‑time systems (e.g., graphics, simulation, or performance‑critical platforms).
• Experience with C++ and software design patterns for large‑scale environments.
• Experience becoming productive quickly in tools, pipeline, or runtime systems.
• Experience collaborating with other engineers and working under their direction in large code bases.
