Role: Software Engineer – Open 3D Engine (O3DE)
Location: Remote
Type: Contractor
I’m not a recruiter, but I do have a referral link for this opportunity. Keeping it fully transparent: if someone applies through my link and gets hired, I may receive a referral bonus. So it is absolutely in my best interest to share this with people who are actually a strong fit.
This role is for a Software Engineer with Open 3D Engine (O3DE) experience who wants to work on AI-focused 3D simulation projects.
This is not your average “build a quick scene and call it a day” role. This work supports AI training, which means you would be helping create high-quality 3D environments and simulations that AI systems can learn from.
What you’d be doing:
- Building high-fidelity 3D scenes and simulations in O3DE
- Working with Atom Renderer, Component Entity System, Gems, and Asset Processor
- Writing clean Python and C++ to support pipelines and integrations
- Creating realistic environments and interactive elements
- Optimizing asset workflows and performance for larger-scale projects
- Documenting your work clearly for remote collaboration
Strong fit if you have:
- Hands-on O3DE experience
- Strong Python and C++ skills
- Game development or simulation engineering experience
- Familiarity with AWS or scalable simulation environments
- The ability to work independently and communicate clearly
Extra strong fit if you’ve worked on:
- AI/ML training simulations
- Performance optimization in 3D environments
- Complex asset pipelines or simulation workflows
This is an AI training and simulation role, so technical accuracy, structure, and performance matter. They are not looking for a general developer who wants to “try O3DE.” They are looking for someone who can actually work in the engine.
Interview process:
There is typically an application review and a technical/AI-based assessment. Be ready to explain your O3DE experience, your Python/C++ work, and any simulation or game engine projects you’ve built.
If this sounds like you, apply. If not, no worries. I’ll be posting more remote opportunities across different skill sets.
