The Secret Sauce To Scale Your Product Growth

We're looking for a developer who is passionate about the future of real-time storytelling technology and 3D engines.

Aquifer, Inc., is based in beautiful Austin, Texas. We are transforming how animated media is made by providing media and entertainment companies a revolutionary platform to collaboratively create animated stories for social and video platforms. Aquifer enables non-animator creative teams from marketing, social media, to content to produce original animated media in minutes by combining 3D art, augmented reality, 3D cloud rendering, and predictive filmmaking techniques in one easy-to-use mobile and web platform. Aquifer is helping to shape the next generation of creators and entertainment. Our customers include Crunchyroll, G2 esports, Guru Studios, and more.

You

Are Super Curious: Ever-interested in learning new things, you like to stay on the cutting edge of the latest technology in real-time rendering, animation, and virtual production.

Strive to Improve Daily: You've made games or movies in the Unity engine, and are excited by the idea of pushing the limits of real-time graphics.

Enjoy Team Collaboration: You appreciate and value clear communication, empathy, and teamwork. You are comfortable communicating with artists and designers (and other developers), to make a great interdisciplinary product.

Are Thorough: Writing new features is fun! But once they are proven, you know that QA plays a big part in our success. You are diligent in handing errors and potential failures in the code.

Work Hard (and have a life): You want to work super hard, and do so in a non-crunch environment, from the location of your choosing.

Think Real-Time Production is the Future: We are a startup that is changing the way people make cinematic content. The ideal candidate shares the excitement of that goal, and wants to be part of an enthusiastic team.
