UE5 Developer - Wirestock (3-4 months)
Unreal Source #freelance-jobs
// REQUIRED SKILLS
**Responsibilities**
We are building a data capture pipeline in Unreal Engine and need a UE5 Developer to build the data capture and export tools in UE5 as well as set up some data processing outside of the engine. 3-4 month contract with a day/weekly rate.
What You'll Do:
-Implement and optimize render passes in UE5 (RGB, depth, optical flow, normals, amodal masks, and custom AOVs) from a spec
-Build Python tooling to drive rendering, extract per-frame/per-object metadata, and export it into structured formats (parquet/JSONL), not just automate the editor
-Handle coordinate system and convention correctness (handedness, units, rotation representation, depth/flow semantics)
-Build validation tooling (consistency checks, reprojection checks, overlay visualizations) to confirm exported data is correct
-Work independently against a detailed spec, flagging technical risk or scope tradeoffs as they come up
**Qualifications**
Unreal Engine 5:
-Render optimization (performance tuning for multi-pass renders)
-Python scripting within UE5 (Editor scripting, automation, pipeline integration)
-Chaos Physics
-Custom AOVs
Beyond the engine:
-Python for data work. Comfortable with numpy/pandas-style structured data handling, not just script automation
-Experience working with EXR or similar multi-channel image formats as data (not just for compositing/viewing)
-Solid grasp of 3D coordinate transforms: quaternions, matrices, handedness/axis conventions, and converting between them
-Comfort designing a data schema and export pipeline at scale (structured tabular formats, consistent file/frame organization)
-Git
Strong Pluses:
-Prior experience producing data for ML/computer vision training (synthetic data, sim-to-real, robotics, photogrammetry, or similar)
-Experience with data export pipelines that were later consumed/analyzed outside the engine (e.g., in Python/Jupyter, a CV pipeline, or a data science workflow)
-PCG
