- Strong experience with real-time graphics, shaders, and lighting
- Experience with cross-platform deployment (PC, VR/AR, installations)
- Proven ability to lead technical teams (mentoring, code reviews, technical decision-making)
- Strong understanding of asset pipelines (integration of 3D assets, textures, animations)
- Good communication skills in English (German is a plus)
- Ability to collaborate with designers, artists, and creative directors in a fast-moving environment
- Understanding of networked/multi-user Unreal setups
- Familiarity with interactive installations and physical computing (tracking systems, sensors, hardware integration)
- Above 7 years of experience
Nice to Have
- Experience with permanent exhibitions
- Experience with Frontend Development
- Familiarity with Python or other scripting languages for pipeline automation
- Experience working in small, creative studios or innovation labs
