Your responsibilities:

• Design and implementation of the architecture for the Corona for 3ds Max.
• Technical and product leadership of the team of 5 members working on the development of Corona for 3ds Max.
• Managing and overseeing 3ds Max development team (including days off approvals, conducting team meetings and performance reviews, bonuses and salary decision making, etc.).
• Organization, planning, and evaluation of the Corona for 3ds Max development.
• Releasing new commercial versions, daily builds, test versions, and release candidates of Corona for 3ds Max and associated technical release management.
• Coordination with other development teams, QA, Support, etc.
• Communication with users of Corona for 3ds Max, handling their suggestions and complaints, fixing bugs and deficiencies.
• Last but not least, coding itself :)

We expect:

• Experience in leading a team, good communication skills.
• Knowledge of IT methodologies (agile, kanban).
• Good C++ skills, fluency in modern C++.
• Proficiency in English.
• Interest and open-minded attitude to the new technologies.

We work with:

• Cutting edge C++ standard (C++20) with (usually) latest MSVC and Clang.
• Visual Studio, XCode, CLion. We give our developers a free hand in choosing their tools but the development itself is done primarily on Windows.
• Common practice of development and QA - code reviews, unit tests, automated rendering tests.
• Host applications SDKs, Qt (only for GUI) and other multi-platform frameworks.
• High-performance libraries such as Intel Embree and Open Image Denoise. We also occasionally cooperate with Intel on the development of these libraries.
• Automation/workflow tools such as git, CMake, and Python.
• In-house tools we developed to fix weak points of the C++ ecosystem.

We offer:

• A full-time position (minimum requirement of 35 hours/week).
• Possibility to work on software that users love and that has global-scale impact (product visualization, AAA movies, TV ads, architecture, ...) and an association with the award-winning renderer, V-Ray.
• Working with a single highly maintained codebase instead of an endless row of single-use projects.
• Challenging tasks from research to application programming, including performance and memory optimizations.
• No third-party dictated requirements, software architecture, and deadlines.
• A team small enough to offer individual members space for creativity.
• Quick product feedback from our enthusiastic user community.
• Learning from experienced developers and researchers (e.g. Pixar).
• Growth within the company, internal seminars and conferences. Possibility to move from one team to another one.
• Participating on technology transfer, suggesting ideas and providing feedback during integrations with the parent company Chaos.
• A bi-annual bonus based on work performance.
• Salary above the stated limits in case of relevant computer graphics skills.
• Work from our office in the center of Prague (Karlovo náměstí).
• 3 paid sick days, 5 weeks of vacation from the start of cooperation, and additional vacation days based on the number of years spent in the company.
• Regular bi-weekly company lunches, a relax room, a play room, a nap room, a fitness room, home office, face-to-face or on-line team buildings (e.g. laser games, go-karts, picnics, and various challenges, ...). We are also parent-friendly - we understand if you unexpectedly need to stay at home with your little one(s).

If you believe that you are a good match for the job, please send us your CV and a short cover letter. If you also have a project with source code that we could take a look at, we would be even happier. We prefer C++, but we will tackle other programming languages as well.
