Job Summary
We are building a production-grade web application for3D Gaussian Splat scene generation editing and publishing and were looking for a Pipeline Engineer to help integrate cutting-edge research features and make them reliable debuggable and delightful to use.
This is a high-ownership fullstack-but-backend-heavy role that sits between R&D and frontend. You will work end-to-end across graphics/ML algorithms backend services and frontend UI turning proof-of-concepts into shipped features that users can rely on. The ideal candidate enjoys making complex messy systems work smoothly in production and improving them continuously based on both internal testing and external user feedback.
Key Responsibilities
- Bridge research and product by working closely with both graphics/computer vision researchers and frontend engineers to ship usable features.
- Turn standalone Python scripts into clean production-ready systems with clear inputs outputs validations and failure modes.
- Develop backend services APIs and tooling that expose complex 3D workflows in a reliable and scalable way.
- Assist in integrations across the 3D ecosystem including asset import/export and format conversion with common DCC tools.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- You have a strong pipeline mindset with experience turning scripts into production systems with clear inputs outputs validations and failure modes.
- You enjoy building tools and infrastructure that enable others and you take pride in making complex systems understandable and usable.
- You have fluency in the 3D ecosystem including familiarity with 3D algorithms DCC tools and common 3D file formats sufficient to design integrations and debug workflow issues.
Minimum Qualifications
- Strong proficiency in Python including packaging typing tooling debugging and performance profiling.
- Strong literacy in core3D graphics and computer vision concepts such as transforms cameras coordinate systems rendering and visual artifact debugging.
- Demonstrated experience taking prototypes to production including refactoring testing CI/CD versioned artifacts and reproducibility.
- Solid backend fundamentals including HTTP APIs FastAPI (or similar frameworks) async/concurrency basics cloud deployment and service reliability.
Strongly Preferred / Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with photogrammetry 3D reconstruction or Gaussian splat rendering pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with DCC tools such asBlender Maya Houdini Unreal or Unity.
- Familiarity with the GPU stack (CUDA PyTorch) batch/queue systems and containerization (Docker Kubernetes).
- Frontend adjacency with comfort collaborating onReact-based parameter plumbing and UX for technical controls.
- Experience with production pipelines atVFX animation or gaming studios.
- A production support mindset including willingness to iterate on documentation tutorials and error messages to improve usability and reduce misuse.
Example Projects You Might Work On
- Packaging ML and 3D Python pipelines into GPU-backed FastAPI services with request validation reproducible outputs and well-defined request/response schemas.
- Designing parameter schemas and defaults that map cleanly from frontend controls to backend APIs and internal pipeline configurations.
- Integrating import/export workflows with popular DCC tools (e.g. Blender Maya Houdini Unity Unreal USD) identifying workflow friction and producing lightweight documentation tutorials and example code/scripts to help users succeed.
