Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience building performance-critical applications in Rust (or equivalent systems languages)
  • Deep familiarity with Bevy, including custom ECS components, render pipelines, and asset systems
  • Hands-on experience with WebGPU or wgpu, including shader programming (WGSL/GLSL) and real-time rendering concepts
  • UI experience with egui or other immediate-mode frameworks; ability to design responsive, intuitive technical interfaces
  • Strong understanding of game engine and simulation architecture — scenes, entities, transforms, and event systems
  • Familiarity with real-time data visualization, 3D math, and asynchronous data streams (e.g., telemetry, sensor feeds)
  • Comfortable working across low-level graphics code and high-level UX — from optimizing GPU passes to polishing user interactions
  • Bonus: experience with Rust async ecosystems, Polars / Arrow, or gRPC / WebSocket streaming backends
  • Bonus: contributions to open-source Rust projects (Bevy, egui, wgpu, or similar)

Responsibilities

  • Build interactive 3D and 2D visualizations using Bevy and WebGPU, optimized for real-time telemetry and simulation
  • Develop advanced ECS-based rendering and scene-graph systems for large-scale, dynamic data environments
  • Design and implement egui-based UIs for real-time control, telemetry playback, and system monitoring
  • Collaborate with data infrastructure engineers to stream and visualize high-frequency telemetry with minimal latency
  • Contribute to cross-platform runtime architecture supporting both native and WebAssembly builds
  • Profile and optimize performance across CPU, GPU, and memory boundaries to achieve smooth frame pacing and determinism
  • Shape the visual and interaction paradigms that define Nominal’s end-user experience for engineers working on mission-critical hardware
