• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Mid level, Senior
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Tech skills: Jenkins, Python, Qt, Unreal Engine
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Vomp, Austria

About the role

• Software Engineer developing Unreal Engine integration for Vizrt's real-time graphics applications. Collaborating in a hybrid environment, influencing the architecture and direction of UE projects.

Responsibilities

• You will join a team of experienced engineers and share ownership of the UE integration stack.
• Depending on your interests and strengths, your work will touch several areas: UE plugins and Viz Engine integration, optimizing performance and delays, keying and compositing, camera tracking integration, HDR and color pipeline, build and test automation, GPU-level debugging, handling customer escalations related to UE integration.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional C++ development, with solid understanding of modern C++
• Unreal Engine programming experience using the C++ API (not just Blueprint scripting). You should be comfortable building or extending UE plugins, working with the module system, and navigating the Engine source
• Solid knowledge of real-time rendering concepts: render pipelines, GPU resources, frame synchronization, shader basics
• Fluent English, written and spoken, for international team collaboration
• Highly Valued Skills
• GPU texture sharing or compositing experience: DirectX shared textures, render targets, texture format conversions, or similar inter-process GPU resource sharing
• Experience working with multiple UE versions and understanding how Engine API changes affect plugin compatibility
• Camera tracking system integration: Mo-Sys, Stype, Ncam, HTC Vive Tracker, or similar position/rotation tracking hardware used in virtual production
• Experience with broadcast or live production technology – understanding that “real-time” means 50/59.94 fps with zero frame drops on air
• AR/VR compositing workflows: chroma keying, depth compositing, virtual set integration, Composure framework in UE
• Color science and HDR: ACES, BT.2020, PQ/HLG transfer functions, tone mapping for broadcast output
• Large codebase comfort: ability to navigate and contribute to a codebase with limited documentation
• Familiarity with DirectX 11/12 interop and NVIDIA NvAPI for GPU resource sharing between processes
• Nice to Have
• Experience with CI/CD for UE projects: automated builds, cook pipelines, packaging via GitHub Actions or Jenkins
• Experience with NDI or SDI video transport – understanding how frames move between rendering and broadcast output
• Familiarity with UE Composure or Media Framework subsystems
• Background in visual effects or virtual production workflows (LED volumes, green screen, in-camera VFX)
• Python scripting for UE automation (Editor Utility Widgets, build scripts)
• Experience with Qt for desktop UI development
• Knowledge of FreeD protocol or other camera tracking data formats
• Familiarity with Vulkan rendering

Benefits

• Health Insurance
• Paid Time Off: Generous vacation days, sick leave, and holidays to ensure you have a work-life balance
• Professional Development: Opportunities for ongoing training
