The Opportunity: Building the "Eyes" of Industrial Inspection

At Octobotics, we are addressing the challenge of finding the right "Who" to build the next generation of autonomous industrial inspection systems. We aren't just looking for a coder; we are looking for a Strategic Lead Developer—a high-impact individual who can transform high-bandwidth hardware data into life-saving, intuitive user experiences.

This role is the critical link in our mission. Our autonomous platforms—serving the Oil & Gas, Rail, and Chemical sectors—generate massive sensor payloads that must be visualized in real-time to prevent catastrophic infrastructure failure. You will own the bridge between raw physics and the inspector’s fingertips, ensuring that sustained success and exceptional results are built into our interface.

Key Responsibilities: Where Systems Meet Strategy

• High-Throughput Engine-to-UI Integration: Architect and develop robust WPF (C#) and Qt (C++) applications capable of ingesting and processing sustained sensor data streams of 100–200 MBPS.
• Interoperability Bridge Engineering: Design, implement, and optimize the high-speed data layer (via C++/CLI, Shared Memory, or gRPC) that connects low-level C++ sensor drivers to our C#-based visualization tools used across diverse industrial environments.
• Performance Engineering & Hardware Acceleration: Implement advanced rendering techniques (DirectX/OpenGL) to ensure seamless, 60 FPS visualization of dense PAUT (Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing) datasets, eliminating UI jitter even under peak load.
• Cross-Sector Technical Leadership: Collaborate with the Principal Architect to define scalable data structures and communication protocols for inspection bots operating in specialized Oil, Gas, and Chemical facilities.
• Mission-Critical Reliability: Ensure the stabilization of our software culture by building cohesive, high-performing codebases that avoid the "ripple effect" of technical debt and hiring mistakes.

Required Experience: The Technical Blueprint

• WPF & C# Mastery: Extensive professional experience with XAML, MVVM, and sophisticated asynchronous programming. You must be able to handle high-frequency data notifications without overwhelming the UI Dispatcher.
• Qt/QML Proficiency: Proven track record of building modern, responsive, and performance-oriented interfaces in C++ that interface directly with hardware layers.
• High-Bandwidth Data Handling: Demonstrated experience managing massive data pipelines (100MBps+) where memory management and thread priority are the difference between success and system failure.
• Cross-Language Marshalling: Deep understanding of the performance trade-offs involved in moving data between managed (C#) and unmanaged (C++) memory spaces.
• Strategic Engineering Mindset: An innate ability to identify bottlenecks before they derail projects and the "scrappiness" to implement long-term architectural solutions in a lean startup environment.

Why Join Octobotics?

We offer a culture of excellence where roles are filled by high-performing individuals aligned with our goals and values. You will have the autonomy to choose the best tools for the job and the impact of seeing your work directly influence the safety of global energy and chemical infrastructure. We prioritize growth, meaningful work, and a clear sense of purpose.

As a Software Engineer III – Unreal Engine, you’ll be a core technical contributor and leader on a team building high-end AAA PC/Console experiences. You’ll take ownership of critical game systems, mentor other engineers, and help define technical direction. Working alongside art, design, and production, your experience and engineering insight will shape the gameplay, tools, and systems that bring our ambitious projects to life.

What You’ll Do

• Architect, implement, and optimize complex systems in Unreal Engine 5 using C++
• Lead development of gameplay, systems, and core tech features
• Collaborate with designers, artists, and producers to ensure technical feasibility and creative alignment
• Mentor junior engineers and uphold best engineering practices

• Experience with multiplayer, AI, Bots, Physics and rendering systems
• Shipped multiple PC/Console titles with significant system ownership
• Excellent debugging, profiling, and performance-tuning skills
• Strong software architecture skills and understanding of real-time game systems
• Proven leadership and mentoring abilities

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Unreal Editor tooling, plugins, and build systems
• Knowledge of Agile production pipelines
• Contributions to tool development or tech pipelines
• Understanding of AI-Tools and ability to adapt them in workflows to improve productivity
