Off World Live | Senior Typescript Engineer | UK | Fully Remote | Full-time / Part Time | https://offworld.live

Off World Live is a small team of artists and programmers working on an Unreal Engine plugin for streaming interactive 360 video in realtime from virtual games worlds. We were recently behind the 3 36hour + live streams of the live virtual club night Club Quarantaene.

The core plugin is written in C++ / HLSL, but we are increasingly building out web infrastructure -- both frontend and servers to handle customer's interaction with our streaming pipeline.

We are looking for somebody with at least a year's experience in Typescript, more than 4 years in Javascript and at least a year in modern React to help us with:

- Building a new node.js service for improving live interactions with our 360 live streams

- Maintaining our stream management interface

A real plus would be for somebody with knowledge of Go as we have other parts of our core infrastructure written in Go.

More broadly we are looking for somebody who:

- is easy-going and fits into our flexible, relaxed, open-minded team

- is interested in pursuing relatively independent medium-term researched based projects / tasks

- is curious about software and systems in general

- has visual attention to detail especially when building UI

We think you would particularly enjoy this if you are interested in games, art, virtual worlds and novel interactions.

We are currently part-funded by an Innovate UK SMART grant so only apply if you have a UK national insurance number and the right to work in the UK. We are fully remote so location is unimportant.

We particularly encourage applications from diverse candidates.

Off World Live | C++ / Unreal / Graphics Programmer | ONSITE London, UK or UK REMOTE | https://offworld.live

We're a london-based company (see our instagram @offworldlive / website https://offworld.live) and we have an alpha plugin for streaming 360 video from Unreal Engine while giving remote audiences realtime interactions with the virtual game world. In addition to the plugin we also often involved in providing realtime visualisations for live performances (music / art).

We're looking to hire a full time C++ developer to help us build the next iteration of our product.

We're very open-minded, but interest / experience in video compression / writing shaders in unreal / unreal c++ would be a big plus. However we will certainly consider somebody with good experience in a strongly-typed systems language (e.g C, Rust, Go, C# etc)

Our tech touches on a lot of interesting areas: render pipelines, shaders, video compression and games engines.

Ideally we are looking for somebody in the London area, but are very open to remote UK workers. The same goes for flexible working hours.

Due to our funding situation (we have been awarded an innovate uk grant) this position will run for at least a year.

Email a CV or ask us any questions by our email at info@offworld.live
