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
