Job description

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic, talented and fast growing company where your ideas and contributions make a real difference. You’ll be working in an environment where visual quality is key. Closely working with our producers, coders, graphic designers, and digital artists you’ll help us create, modify and maintain projects across a range of scope and budgets.

Your responsibilities will include helping build progressively enhanced and responsive WebXR / 3D / 2D web applications running in WebGL frameworks [threejs/babylon etc.]. These must run on a range of hardware from low powered mobile devices to high-end VR gaming PCs.

The work will be constantly evolving and varied, usually requiring a number of unique solutions to be designed for each project. It’s never boring.

Responsibilities

• Building, developing and maintaining new and existing online experiences
• Work closely with our R&D team to develop interactive 3D and 2D web-based products
• Producing well-documented and beautifully crafted solutions using emerging web technologies [WebXR/Canvas/ES6]
• Be able to learn and use new APIs, SDKs or programming languages as necessary
• Collaborate with producers, coders, graphic designers, and digital artists to build high quality/performance web applications
• Be willing to explore opportunities enabled by new technologies
• Research, analyse and explain possible approaches to unique problems
• Demonstrable experience with Web APIs, especially WebGL, WebXR and Canvas
• Comfortable working with various build and task automation tools, including Webpack, Gulp, Grunt
• An interest in online web technologies

Desireable

• GLSL experience
• Video game industry experience
• Good understanding of GIT and approaches to version control
• Knowledge of Game Engines (e.g. Unity, Unreal etc).

What we offer.

• A lot of organisation. CGI and Software Development are complex businesses that require solid processes and systems to ensure standards are kept high and everyone goes home on time. This is something we are really passionate about so we have people dedicated to maintaining the system and lubricating the wheels of production.
• A nice place to work. Our main office is in a converted Mill complex in Huddersfield near the M62, a short drive from Leeds and Manchester, with a gym, deli, and spa on site.
• A good social scene. We are a relaxed and social bunch and enjoy frequent team trips away to build those important bonds. We also know it's also important to have a blowout every now and then and have developed a specialty for throwing a party.
• Down time. Being brilliant at something can really take it out of you, so every year the studio shuts down for 2 weeks over the Christmas period and we all get to come back refreshed.
• Lovely people as colleagues. Our aim is to build a team of like-minded people who want to work on the best CGI and make brilliant configuration tools. If this sounds like you, then we'd love to hear from you.
• Studio closes for 10 over Christmas
• Regular Team trips
• Onsite facilities include; Gym, Spa, Restaurant, Hairdressers
