Your role in the team
- As our Lead Software Engineer for web-based computer graphics, you will own how NavVis IVION renders reality.
- You will work with billions of points, 3D Gaussian Splats, meshes, and panoramic imagery, streamed on demand and rendered as interactive 3D scenes in the browser.
- Your ownership will span the entire rendering layer, from Three.js, WebGL, shaders, and level-of-detail strategies to GPU memory management, data formats, and efficient streaming.
- You will join our IVION Data Foundation team, working alongside engineers across data processing, backend services, and frontend development.
- Together, you will make rendering faster, more scalable, and visually richer, ensuring smooth performance across different hardware environments.
- Beyond optimizing our existing renderer, you will shape its future architecture, influence data formats, and define performance standards.
- This role combines real-time computer graphics, large-scale spatial data, and web engineering, with significant ownership and room to set technical direction.
- Own and improve browser-based 3D rendering in NavVis IVION, working with Three.js, WebGL, shaders, and rendering pipelines for point clouds, 3D Gaussian splats, meshes, and panoramic imagery.
- Optimize rendering performance and visual quality through advanced occlusion culling, adaptive refinement, level-of-detail strategies, and efficient GPU memory management.
- Deliver reliable rendering across different hardware environments, from high-end workstations to laptops with integrated GPUs and restricted corporate browsers.
- Improve data streaming and rendering efficiency by contributing to spatial indexing, tiling, compression, caching, and progressive loading strategies.
- Collaborate across the technology stack to optimize interfaces between C++ data processing, Java backend services, storage, and frontend rendering.
- Gestalte die Weiterentwicklung unserer Rendering-Architektur, indem du WebGPU, Compute Shaders und moderne Grafiktechniken evaluierst, um Leistung und Skalierbarkeit zu verbessern.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Solid knowledge of 3D mathematics and spatial algorithms, including coordinate systems, transformations, projections, spatial data structures (octrees, BVHs, KD-trees), level-of-detail, and culling techniques.
- Strong performance optimization skills across GPU, CPU, and networking, using profiling, benchmarking, and systematic analysis to identify and resolve bottlenecks.
- Vertrautheit mit Reality Capture, Photogrammetrie, SLAM, BIM, geospatial Anwendungen oder Radiance Field-Techniken, einschließlich 3D Gaussian Splats.
Experience
- Starke Erfahrung in Echtzeit-3D-Grafik für das Web, insbesondere mit WebGL2, Three.js, GLSL-Shader und maßgeschneiderten Rendering-Pipelines.
- Experience rendering and streaming large-scale 3D datasets, such as point clouds, meshes, or 3D Gaussian Splats, including spatial indexing, tiling, caching, and memory management.
- Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience developing and maintaining complex, performance-critical web applications.
- Hands-on experience with WebGPU, WGSL, or compute shaders.
- Experience with C++, Rust, WebAssembly, or native graphics APIs such as Vulkan, Metal, or DirectX.
- Experience with Angular, Java, or Spring Boot and working across frontend and backend systems.
