Build and optimize 3D game simulations and environments that provide real-world input for training next-generation AI systems. This remote contract role centers on hands-on Panda3D development, with no prior AI experience required.
Key Responsibilities- Design, develop, and optimize Panda3D-based 3D simulations and environments for AI training applications.
- Translate requirements into technical solutions with multidisciplinary teams.
- Implement, maintain, and debug Python and C++ codebases integrated with Panda3D.
- Use GitHub workflows, including code management, branching, and pull requests, to support project collaboration.
- Maintain cross-platform compatibility and performance across varied hardware configurations.
- Document architecture, code, and development processes clearly.
- Participate in code reviews, brainstorming sessions, and team meetings.
- Demonstrated hands-on Panda3D development experience. Experience with similar engines alone is not a substitute.
- Advanced Python and C++ programming skills.
- Strong knowledge of 3D graphics pipelines, simulation logic, and cross-platform development.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work independently in a remote setting, meet deadlines with minimal supervision, and apply strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
- Experience developing games for AI, simulation, or training use cases.
- Experience optimizing 3D assets for performance across a range of hardware.
- Experience in collaborative, distributed Agile environments.
- Remote contract engagement.
- $50 to $120 per hour.
