What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Cloud 3D Graphics (Ray Tracing & Asset Tech) position at Geomagical Labs?
Geomagical Labs is building 3D experiences for tens of millions of users around the world, in partnership with IKEA. Our pioneering apps allow customers to scan photorealistic models of their spaces, then reimagine their spaces in life-like 3D, from anywhere changing home commerce along the way.
About the role
We have an opening for a technical, hands-on 3D Cloud Graphics tech leader.
The leader will drive an ambitious technology roadmap to engineer, enhance, and operate automated, cloud-based 3D conditioning and render pipelines (dataflow, batch, and on-demand) for processing & ray-tracing of PBR 3D graphics models. The role requires broad 3D graphics foundations, excellent hands-on full-stack systems engineering skills, and experience managing technical projects across geographies.
Responsibilities
- Strategically build & manage a team of 3 technical staff affiliated colleagues
- Ship best-in-industry 3D experiences for use on mobile devices, web, and in-store
- Own & operate Cloud Graphics production systems like a mission-critical business
