- Collaborate with backend engineers on server-side geometry processing and data APIs.
- Optimise viewer performance for large and complex IFC models.
- Troubleshoot technical challenges related to 3D rendering, geometry processing, and browser performance.
- Continuously improve the viewer based on feedback from government agencies and industry users.
Requirements
- Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and familiarity with backend JavaScript runtimes such as Node.js or Deno.
- Good understanding of 3D graphics and/or computational geometry concepts.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
