Role description BeamNG is an independent game & software development studio, established in 2013 in Bremen, Germany. We are an international, remote-first team of almost 90 people. Our development focuses on state-of-the-art soft-body physics vehicle simulation, currently available as an early access videogame - BeamNG.drive , and as a stand-alone research platform - BeamNG.tech To support our ongoing and future development plans, we are looking for an experienced Rendering Programmer with strong C++ expertise and a solid background in real-time rendering. This person should be comfortable working independently within a proprietary engine environment and capable of taking ownership of complex, long-term development projects from concept through to completion. Technical Responsibilities: Immerse yourself in our proprietary C++ game engine and renderer, improving its internals in ways that are typically out of reach when using common engines.
