Work ranges from simple bug fixes to developing key functionality for deliverables in a timely manner. We have regular design discussions within the team, where all members are expected to participate, alongside our daily stand up meetings. While developing we expect our engineers to engage in continuous testing of the product, such that we can roll out software to environments where full end to end testing maybe practically limited. All work gets peer reviewed and you will be expected to be a key participant in that process.
Our Tech Stack
Our core technology is built on a custom version of the Unreal Engine, with a backend powered by plugins to interface with our video capture and computer vision software. The front end is decoupled from the rendering with a QT/C++17 application that drives Unreal with a ZMQ communication layer, while also interfacing with external data sources.
Our Graphics Team culture
We operate an agile/fortnightly sprint based workflow, where each task is assigned a given point value based on the teams estimation of difficulty. Our team uses a git flow structure to separate new development work from ongoing maintenance of live software. Often we have to work closely with the other development teams to provide a complete solution for our clients.
