YOU HAVE: * Education: A BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field, or relevant work experience. * Expert 3D Math Foundation: Exceptional spatial reasoning and a deep mastery of 3D math, specifically linear algebra tailored for game engines and 3D environments. * Geometric Processing Expertise: Strong experience manipulating and analyzing 3D data, including meshes, vertices, and topology. * Schema & Avatar Knowledge: Solid understanding of avatar schema compliance, rigging, skinning weights, and animation principles. * Software Engineering Excellence: Strong programming skills in C++, Luau, Python (or similar production languages) with a proven track record in system optimization, data pipelining, and complex software design. * Nice-to-Haves: * Hands-on experience with runtime game engines. * Foundational knowledge of rendering pipelines. YOU ARE: * A Proven Problem Solver: You enjoy solving ambiguous, complex technical challenges and have a history of delivering production-ready engineering updates. * A Collaborative Teammate: You thrive in cross-functional environments, bridging programmatic geometry constraints with artist and platform needs. * Mission-Driven: You are passionate about building a safe, high-quality, and civil marketplace ecosystem for a global community.
