Developing features in our build system infrastructure, such as monitoring or build machine provisioning
Implementing data processing pipelines that operate on large volumes of motion capture data
Meeting regularly with stakeholders to report on progress and receive feedback

Experience with version control systems such as Perforce or Git
Full-stack web development skills (HTML/CSS, Javascript/Typescript, SolidJS or React, NodeJS, MongoDB)
Experience with system monitoring and process dashboards (ElasticSearch, time-series visualisation)
Scripting and application development using Python and PyQT/PySide
Application deployment using containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
Professional attitude towards support, including face-to-face support, progress updates and high-quality documentation
Preferably some experience working with Unreal Engine and c++
Experience with motion capture data processing would be beneficial

Life Assurance (6 x annual salary)
Salary Exchange Pension Scheme
Employee Assistance Programme
