• Experience with game engine architecture including scene management and component systems
• Proficiency with version control systems such as Git
  • Strong problem‑solving skills and performance optimisation experience
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non‑technical teams
• Fluency in English

Nice to have

• Experience with Linux or Android development
• Background in simulation, robotics, automotive or real‑time systems
• Experience with CPU/GPU optimisation and profiling
• Knowledge of networking systems

Working style / behaviours

• Collaborative and comfortable working across disciplines
• Analytical and detail‑driven with strong ownership of systems
• Curious and motivated to apply game technology in new domains
• Adaptable and open to solving complex, real‑world challenges

Why join

• Work at the intersection of game development and autonomous technology
• Opportunity to apply game engine expertise to real‑world systems
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary environment
• Competitive compensation and modern working environment in Zurich
• Be part of an innovative team shaping the future of intelligent machines

Location: Zurich, Switzerland (on‑site)
