Description

Our client is looking for a Game Developer to join the team responsible for building an interface used to control and monitor autonomous heavy machines in a more interactive and game-like way.
This role combines game development, real-time 3D visualization, and spatial UI work. The selected person will collaborate closely with game designers, UX/UI designers, C++ developers, cloud/web engineers, robotics teams, and field application specialists to create reliable, fast, and user-friendly interfaces for real-world autonomous systems.
It is a great opportunity for someone who wants to apply game development experience beyond entertainment. 

Responsibilities

• Implement 3D digital twins and real-time spatial user interfaces that accurately reflect live machine states with low latency.
• Work on complex rendering and geometry challenges, including level of detail, real-time interaction, and performance under technical constraints.
• Build end-to-end features in collaboration with game designers, UX/UI designers, C++ developers, cloud engineers, and robotics teams.
• Write and maintain unit tests and validation pipelines.
• Audit, refactor, and improve the existing architecture.
• Partner closely with robotics and field application teams to ensure the product works reliably in real-world conditions.

• Experience writing production-quality C++ code.
• Completed coursework or hands-on projects in computer graphics, game development, or related areas.
• Good understanding of game engine concepts such as geometry, materials/shaders, scene management, and actors/components.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across different teams. 
• Fluent English.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Linux and Android app development.
• Experience in simulation, automotive, robotics, or safety-critical real-time systems.
• Experience with performance optimization in real-time engine environments, experience with networking.
