Off World Live | Senior Typescript Engineer | UK | Fully Remote | Full-time / Part Time | <a href="
Off World Live is a small team of artists and programmers working on an Unreal Engine plugin for streaming interactive 360 video in realtime from virtual games worlds. We were recently behind the 3 36hour + live streams of the live virtual club night Club Quarantaene.
The core plugin is written in C++ / HLSL, but we are increasingly building out web infrastructure -- both frontend and servers to handle customer's interaction with our streaming pipeline.
We are looking for somebody with at least a year's experience in Typescript, more than 4 years in Javascript and at least a year in modern React to help us with:
- Building a new node.js service for improving live interactions with our 360 live streams
- Maintaining our stream management interface
A real plus would be for somebody with knowledge of Go as we have other parts of our core infrastructure written in Go.
More broadly we are looking for somebody who:
- is easy-going and fits into our flexible, relaxed, open-minded team
- is interested in pursuing relatively independent medium-term researched based projects / tasks
- is curious about software and systems in general
- has visual attention to detail especially when building UI
We think you would particularly  enjoy this if you are interested in games, art, virtual worlds and novel interactions.
We are currently part-funded by an Innovate UK SMART grant so only apply if you have a UK national insurance number and the right to work in the UK. We are fully remote so location is unimportant.
We particularly encourage applications from diverse candidates.
