**About Us**
Gravity Sketch is a VC backed London-based startup transforming the future of digital creation. Our vision is to revolutionise 3D design and the way products are brought to life. We are developing the first 3D digital design platform focused on creative designers. We aim to positively disrupt the current design and engineering workflows, placing the user at the center of the creation process in hopes of accelerating the full development process. The platform is used by thousands of designers across the globe in industries such as transportation, industrial design, media and entertainment, and apparel.

- Bachelor’s degree in fields related to Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering
- From 3 years of development experience in Java
- Understand and adopt rigorous industry-standard coding and design pattern best practices, including SOLID
- Experience with distributed system
- Strong understanding of distributed database
- Keen interest in continuously learning new and emerging technologies
- Willing to get hands on devops

**As a plus:**
- Experience in large scale projects, working in teams
- Experience with large scale distributed system

**Responsibilities:**
This role will involve designing and developing large scale distributed systems to support real-time multi-user interactions in an Immersive Product (yes, even more complex than an MMO), with 3D collaboration.

As a Backend Engineer in an immersive technology company, you need to understand our products and have empathy with our users. You must also have the passion and motivation to improve, propose, design, and develop scalable backend systems to support low latency interactions across multi-platform applications such as desktop, mobile devices, design tablets, AR, VR and so on. You understand PoC, MVP, and production development, and can properly address and balance the quality (scalability, reliability, extensibility, flexibility etc) of the systems you are going to deliver in timeline.

With a solid engineering foundation, you have a strong motivation to learn new skills and knowledge in cutting edge technologies, and are always willing to try, propose, redesign, and refactor alternative solutions to be more efficient, while reducing errors, and minimising human interactions for easier maintenance.
