Python Game Developer (Panda3D)

Build and optimize 3D game simulations and environments that provide real-world input for training next-generation AI systems. This remote contract role centers on hands-on Panda3D development, with no prior AI experience required. Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize Panda3D-based 3D simulations and environments for AI training applications.
• Translate requirements into technical solutions with multidisciplinary teams.
• Implement, maintain, and debug Python and C++ codebases integrated with Panda3D.
• Use GitHub workflows, including code management, branching, and pull requests, to support project collaboration.
• Maintain cross-platform compatibility and performance across varied hardware configurations.
• Document architecture, code, and development processes clearly.
• Participate in code reviews, brainstorming sessions, and team meetings.

• Demonstrated hands-on Panda3D development experience. Experience with similar engines alone is not a substitute.
• Advanced Python and C++ programming skills.
• Strong knowledge of 3D graphics pipelines, simulation logic, and cross-platform development.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting, meet deadlines with minimal supervision, and apply strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.

• Experience developing games for AI, simulation, or training use cases.
• Experience optimizing 3D assets for performance across a range of hardware.
• Experience in collaborative, distributed Agile environments.

• Remote contract engagement.

• $50 to $120 per hour.
