About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will join a team of experienced engineers and share ownership of the UE integration stack.
Depending on your interests and strengths, your work will touch several areas: UE plugins and Viz Engine integration, optimizing performance and delays, keying and compositing, camera tracking integration, HDR and color pipeline, build and test automation, GPU-level debugging, handling customer escalations related to UE integration.

Requirements

What you’ll need

3+ years of professional C++ development, with solid understanding of modern C++
Unreal Engine programming experience using the C++ API (not just Blueprint scripting). You should be comfortable building or extending UE plugins, working with the module system, and navigating the Engine source
Solid knowledge of real-time rendering concepts: render pipelines, GPU resources, frame synchronization, shader basics
Fluent English, written and spoken, for international team collaboration
Highly Valued Skills
GPU texture sharing or compositing experience: DirectX shared textures, render targets, texture format conversions, or similar inter-process GPU resource sharing
Experience working with multiple UE versions and understanding how Engine API changes affect plugin compatibility
Camera tracking system integration: Mo-Sys, Stype, Ncam, HTC Vive Tracker, or similar position/rotation tracking hardware used in virtual production
Experience with broadcast or live production technology – understanding that “real-time” means 50/59.94 fps with zero frame drops on air
AR/VR compositing workflows: chroma keying, depth compositing, virtual set integration, Composure framework in UE
Color science and HDR: ACES, BT.2020, PQ/HLG transfer functions, tone mapping for broadcast output
Large codebase comfort: ability to navigate and contribute to a codebase with limited documentation
Familiarity with DirectX 11/12 interop and NVIDIA NvAPI for GPU resource sharing between processes
Nice to Have
Experience with CI/CD for UE projects: automated builds, cook pipelines, packaging via GitHub Actions or Jenkins
Experience with NDI or SDI video transport – understanding how frames move between rendering and broadcast output
Familiarity with UE Composure or Media Framework subsystems
Background in visual effects or virtual production workflows (LED volumes, green screen, in-camera VFX)
Python scripting for UE automation (Editor Utility Widgets, build scripts)
Experience with Qt for desktop UI development
Knowledge of FreeD protocol or other camera tracking data formats
Familiarity with Vulkan rendering
