Koj is a VC-funded, ambitious tech startup from Switzerland. At Koj, we want to disrupt the furniture industry and change how people live by offering a better, more sustainable, and more affordable alternative to traditional furniture retail. With Koj, consumers get their apartment fully-furnished by a professional interior designer and rent high-quality furniture on a monthly subscription. Once they move out, Koj takes all the furniture back, renovates it, and the cycle repeats. You can check out a demo of our product here.

A core part of Koj’s value offering is a photorealistic rendered view of the user’s apartment. Instead of a traditional e-commerce UI, we offer a catalog-experience where an automatically generated 3D apartment is presented to users.

To further develop our core tech we are looking for a Senior 3D Software Developer / Technical Director with a strong background in Blender and 3D architecture. This role requires expertise both as a 3D artist and a programmer. As our 3D Technical Director, you’ll be working directly with (not for!) the founders Carloand Anand, and play an important role in moving the company forward.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development of each step in our 3D rendering pipeline
• Develop scripts for automated generation of Blender file templates
• Develop custom Blender add-ons and plugins for automating common tasks
• Generate photorealistic apartment renders and design 3D product models
• Be responsible for giving feedback to others to help improve their performance (and be receptive to receiving feedback from others).

Requirements

• Solid technical understanding of 3D rendering workflows and pipelines
• Strong mathematical understand of computer graphics
• Highly skilled in Blender (both modeling and rendering)
• Proficiency in Python and Blender scripting
• Experience with building Blender add-ons
• Have an insane work ethic. You work tirelessly to ship the best product possible

Nice to have

• Experience with other 3D modeling and rendering software (e.g., 3DS Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, etc.)
• Experience with web-based 3D graphics (e.g., WebGL, three.js, Babylon.js, D3.js, etc.)
• Experience with or interest in full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript
