What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer for Disruptive Architecture Industry Startup (C++/Unreal) position at Generate Inc.?
OUR MISSION
Generate is a Boston-based MIT-spin off technology company with the mission to digitize one of the world's largest and least digital industries : the 12-trillion-dollar Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector.
We are bringing the many innovations and techniques from state-of-the-art gaming technology (like Proceduralism, GPGPU, Real-Time Graphics, and more) into transforming how the AEC sector designs and builds. When implemented at scale, our technology can help tackle the global climate and housing crises by accelerating the deployment of cost-effective, sustainable building materials and systems.
Our team is seeking an experienced Unreal Engine C Software Engineer to develop and deploy the technology at scale.
YOUR ROLE
In this role, you will :
- Work as part of a small development team in a lean engineering environment on incremental releases of design software with a planned public launch in Q4 2022. You will make significant contributions to the software's structure and features with a laser focus on providing a fluid, game-like, user-centric design experience.
- Contribute to significant aspects of the product development process - data structures, algorithm design, computational geometry, procedural geometry generation, history systems, inferencing and constraint systems, and building information modeling systems, runtime procedural construction system generation, runtime procedural building facades and interiors, custom compute based rasterization in Unreal Engine, and Houdini-esque building design tools.
- Contribute expertise and intuition to monthly feature development workshops, bi-weekly sprint planning meetings, and quick daily standups.
- Engage in open-ended workshop sessions, to help the product get from "a user wants to do X" to "here is how we will implement X, given our product architecture."
- Collaborate with our small, cross-functional team of game developers, architects, and product designers to develop innovative solutions to creating and generating buildings (walls, floors, windows, doors, beams, columns, furniture, etc.).
REQUIREMENTS
NICE TO HAVES
Please include links to any representative code or portfolio samples you can share (Github, Bitbucket, tools, games, apps, etc.) in the "Experience Summary" section of the application. We would prefer candidates in the US, but are eager to talk to anyone with a track record in the game development space and making great software.
Generate is remote work first, but we are also willing to discuss relocation to Boston, Massachusetts : a global epicenter of technological innovation!
We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including those from historically underrepresented communities. We are committed to reflecting the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, both in the workplace and in the products we deliver to the industry. We are excited to hear from you!
