WHO WE ARE

At Guerrilla we love making world-class real-time cinematic experiences.

Our Cinematic Tech team works closely with other programmers, designers, and animators to create highly performant real-time cinematic systems. We also produce the tools our content creators use in the Decima Engine’s Editor to build cinematics.

Software created by the Cinematic Tech team supports our users every step of the way, from importing animations and sounds to the Decima Editor, to playing them in real-time in the engine. We build and maintain flexible innovative pipelines to and from various content creation tools.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

Our Cinematic system is a flexible and powerful system used for anything from non-linear conversations, rappelling down a Tallneck to full-on cinematics. Its core is based on a state machine of linear timelines, which users can customize to create non-linear scenarios and the timelines are used to create animation sequences.

• Tackle complex coding tasks together with your fellow software engineers, to ensure our cinematic systems perform flawlessly
• Partner closely with artists and designers, bringing their visions to life. You'll optimize their workflows, turning creative ideas into cinematic experiences that captivate players.
• Develop our extensive real-time sequence system by refining both its runtime functionality and the supporting tools that empower our creative process.
• Architect, develop, and maintain cutting-edge features and tools for our dynamic sequence and cinematic pipelines.

WHO YOU ARE

To be considered a candidate for this role, we expect you to:

• Have repeatedly proven your ability to architect, build, and scale complex systems in C++
• Provide examples of how your contributions have empowered artists, designers, and animators to bring their creative visions to life
• Highlight specific instances where your strong user-facing qualities and solid interpersonal skills have made a measurable impact.

As a bonus, please also let us know if you have any experience with the following:

• Building systems that fused storytelling, animation, and interactivity with DCC tools like Maya or MotionBuilder
• Animation Programming
• Programming with Python
• Working with projects that utilized in camera/character/ facial animation and/or mocap
