Job description

Location: Remote
Contract Type:Full time

About the Project

We are building a next-generation 3D web engine to support the design and customization of orthopaedic devices, transitioning from a Unity-based desktop application to a collaborative, browser-based platform. The goal is to enable real-time 3D visualisation, customisation, and streamlined data workflows for clinical users.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the early-stage architecture and R&D for our 3D web platform.

• Evaluate and finalize the technology stack, with a focus on libraries like Three.js or alternatives.

• Build foundational components that replicate and extend our current desktop functionality (see Forma Desktop).

• Collaborate with product stakeholders to translate feature specifications into scalable, web-based implementations.

• Work closely with backend teams to define server-side requirements for data handling and real-time collaboration.

• Participate in weekly stand-ups with cross-functional stakeholders to align on deliverables, share progress, and iterate based on feedback.

Technical Requirements

• Proven experience with WebGL and 3D frameworks such as Three.js, Babylon.js, or similar.

• Solid knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern front-end development best practices.

• Experience with real-time 3D rendering in web environments.

• Familiarity with CAD, mesh processing, or medical imaging data is a strong plus.

• Exposure to Unity and its transition constraints to web environments.

• Understanding of scalable architecture and R&D workflows for new platforms.

Nice to Have

• Background in medical or healthcare applications.

• Experience with collaborative tools (e.g., multi-user editing, live data sync).

• Familiarity with cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure) for backend infrastructure.
