The Munich-based company K5 Media Group with several subsidiaries has specialized in the development, (co-)production, marketing and worldwide distribution of innovative audiovisual productions for over 30 years. Currently we are putting together a team to develop a market-leading product in the Virtual Production sector funded by the European Commission.

Your Role

We are seeking a skilled and experienced (Senior) C++ developer to play a key role in developing and implementing software solutions within Unreal Engine. You will work closely with our Technical Director and the development team to ensure that our project's technical requirements are met efficiently and with high quality.

Your Responsibilities

• Software Development:
• Develop and implement software solutions in C++ (and optional as a plus Unreal Engine) to support real-time light estimation.
• Utilize and optimize CUDA and GPU computing techniques to maximize real-time performance and improve the efficiency of rendering algorithms.
• Incorporate TensorFlow and PyTorch to develop machine learning models aimed at enhancing light estimation and real-time rendering capabilities.
• Shader/Graphics Programming:
• Develop and optimize shaders and rendering techniques suitable for realistic shadows, reflections, and dynamic light sources.
• Integrate advanced rendering techniques to ensure seamless and realistic integration of virtual set extensions into real environments.
• Image and Signal Processing:
• Implement and optimize image processing algorithms crucial for direct and indirect light capture, as well as the processing of real-time HDRI maps and inverse rendering.
• Use TensorFlow and PyTorch to build deep learning models in order to improve image processing tasks, such as denoising, upscaling, inverse rendering, and real-time lighting adjustments based on environmental changes.
• Technical Integration:
• Collaborate with the VFX team to integrate lighting techniques into Unreal Engine.
• Work on the integration of machine learning models developed in TensorFlow and PyTorch into Unreal Engine workflows.
• Project Collaboration:
• Work closely with the Technical Director and other developers to ensure that complex technical and visual requirements are met.

What you need to succeed

• Strong knowledge of C++ and Unreal Engine as a plus.
• Experience with CUDA for optimizing GPU-based computation processes.
• Experience in image processing and computer vision, particularly with OpenCV.
• Proficiency in developing and optimizing shaders and rendering techniques.
• Experience with TensorFlow and PyTorch for machine learning and image processing applications.

What´s in it for you

• Enormously sophisticated job in terms of content with the opportunity to build and develop an innovative product from sketch and be a part of its success from the very beginning.
• Market-driven remuneration and benefits based on experience.
• Plenty of autonomy, flexible working hours, hybrid working option (Centrally located office in the heart of Munich with free drinks and snacks, after work events, etc.).
• Solid development perspectives: We provide an environment that encourages personal and professional growth, offering you the opportunity to expand your skills and advance in your career.
• Part of a highly professional, cooperative and passionate team of international experts.
• Part of a fast-growing company dedicated to team spirit and values.
