Umbra empowers 3D graphics designers and engineers to create, optimize, share and view their designs in real-time on virtually any device. As the established gaming industry standard in graphics optimization for more than a decade, Umbra is now redefining rapid visualization for all industry ecosystems utilizing complex 3D models.


Do you want to take the role of moving Umbra to the cloud? We are looking for a talented individual to take the responsibility of shaping and designing our technology for the cloud.

Here at Umbra we work with the very foundations of real-time 3D graphics, the representation of the geometry itself, and are building a set of tools that enable displaying arbitrarily large 3D data sets on any platform. The processing of these huge models is performed using our distributed computation architecture, automatically scaling up to as many instances as desired. Already today, our product handles multi-terabyte point clouds as input and renders them 60 frames per second on smartphones (e.g. iPhone 6S) and modern web browsers.

Join our small but extremely competent backend team developing a world-class solution for distributed computation, storage and global delivery of petabyte scale 3D scenes!

Requirements for the position

  • Excellent Scala or Java skills
  • Experience in distributed computing, microservices and cloud platforms (Docker, AWS)
  • Interest in functional programming
  • Ability to build end-to-end solutions

General requirements to all positions at Umbra 

  • Being able to take initiative and to make things happen
  • Proactive can-do attitude and team player spirit
  • Passion for video games is a plus
  • Good command of English, both written and spoken

Umbra values top notch technology, successful business, hard work and diversity. We want to hire the people who are culture fits but also culture adds - and we wish to receive applications from professionals with various backgrounds.
