Job description

Front End Software Engineer, 3D Applications

Specializing in WebGL, Three.js, and immersive data visualization

Remote (Canada)

We’re building the tools that help companies make sense of virtual worlds — and we’re looking for a front-end engineer who loves turning complex data into immersive, interactive web experiences.

You’ll play a key role in developing SceneExplorer, our flagship 3D replay tool that shows exactly what happened in a customer’s immersive simulation. (Check it out: https://cognitive3d.com/product/scene-explorer/)

We’re a remote-first team based in Canada. We value autonomy, strong communication, and cross-functional collaboration.

About Cognitive3D

We build a platform that records, measures, and analyzes data from VR, AR, and MR experiences. Our tools help customers:

• Build better immersive products
• Understand physical spaces in new ways
• Improve training outcomes
• Quantify human performance in XR environments

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain 3D web front-end features using WebGL (WebGPU, three.js)
• Build immersive and performant visualizations integrated into our web dashboard
• Own feature development from design through implementation
• Collaborate across design, backend, and product teams
• Participate in code reviews, internal knowledge sharing, and technical documentation
• Continuously learn and evaluate tools, workflows, and frameworks

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in front-end development
• Strong background in WebGL or similar WebGL/3D frameworks like three.js or babylon.js
• Experience with browser-based 3D simulations or visualizations
• Solid web development fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript)
• Experience with React or Angular and state management (Redux, MobX, etc.)
• Familiarity with Webpack, Vite, or modern build tools
• Great communication skills, including technical documentation
• Ability to break down work into features, tasks, and deliverables

Nice to Have

• Experience with Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, or PlayCanvas
• VR/AR/MR development background
• Experience with agile teams and DevOps culture
• (We use “agile light” — backlog, sprints, and t-shirt-sized estimates — and believe strongly in DevOps to boost developer velocity.)

Perks & Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Stock options for every employee
• Remote-first work from anywhere in Canada
• High-end Mac laptop with dual monitors and accessories
• Everyone gets a VR headset
• Home-office budget (chair, desk, etc.)
• Annual budget for conferences and learning
• Team meetups in Vancouver, Toronto, Whistler, and beyond
