• Proven expertise in performance optimization.
• Strong enterprise delivery background.

Nice to have (evaluation focus):

• Experience in both WebGL/WebGPU optimization and GPU/remote streaming.
• Familiarity with warehouse/logistics/industrial simulations, large scenes, physics, and navigation.
• Cloud deployment exposure (Azure/AWS), cost modeling, autoscaling, and observability.

Additional Information

First preference will be given to 1099 independent contractors. Target start date is September 24th, 2025.
