Job description

You'll be the go-to engineer for 3D rendering and asset processing in a Windows desktop app that sits at the heart of the company's pipeline. Expect deep work in C++ and Python across geometry, rendering and integration, not just gluing together third-party tools. What you'll do

Responsibilities

• Own 3D geometry and rendering modules end-to-end, from raw images to high-resolution, real-time previews.
• Build high-performance C++ systems for asset processing, OpenGL rendering and mesh-camera visibility.
• Create Python services that orchestrate pipelines and talk to internal ML models.
• Work with ML and data teams to plug new models and formats into production workflows.
• Take responsibility for Windows builds, packaging and release quality.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of modern C++ engineering in graphics, rendering or other high-performance areas.
• Strong Python, used for real production tooling rather than scripts on the side.
• Solid 3D fundamentals: OpenGL, shaders, geometry processing, UVs.
• Experience shipping desktop tools or pipelines to real users.
• Bonus: DCC integrations (e.g. Blender), PBR/material systems, game engines, photogrammetry/computer vision, Windows app development, 3D formats and ML integration.

Why you might care

• Rare mix of hardcore graphics, real-world capture and AI-driven workflows.
• Direct line of sight from your code to assets used in high-end productions.
• Competitive salary, equity, flexible hybrid setup.
