Senior Engineer

Rokoko offers motion capture tools that allow users to record every nuance of their movements. As a global leader in the motion capture space, Rokoko is known for products that capture the essence of human motion, while bringing down price and complexity to a level that is accessible to all.

With roots in the indie film space, the company today has hundreds of thousands of users across film, games, VFX, VR/AR, and other entertainment projects, as well as a rapidly growing base of users in other verticals such as robotics, sports, and health.

From the heart of Copenhagen, where it began, to our colleagues back in Athens and all the way across the USA, we all echo Rokoko’s calling - to equip every creator with the power of motion capture.

None of this would be possible without the humans behind Rokoko.

Creative, driven, and passionate about what we do, we bring the playfulness of our users into our work and company culture. We collaborate with top-tier companies like Disney, Sony, and Netflix, as well as thousands of creators and professionals that make unique content and applications that makes every day a new adventure.

We're looking for a Senior Engineer who cares deeply about engineering craft, architecture, works fluently across the stack, and wants to build systems where the quality of motion data directly determines what's possible downstream, whether that's a character animation in a game engine, a robot learning to manipulate objects, or a clinician analysing movement.

You'll work across our software stack, from the device driver layer to customer-facing applications, enabling our users to harness their motion in their workflows.

What’s the role about

• Create tools, pipelines, and techniques for processing and delivering motion capture data and realistic animation across entertainment, robotics, and developer-facing applications.

• Write efficient, well-structured code and take ownership of architecture decisions.

• Debug and optimise existing motion processing and animation code to improve performance, latency, and usability.

• Build and maintain customer-facing web applications that deliver motion data to external pipelines.

• Understand and use mathematical tools to animate characters and objects within our platform.

• Test motion interfaces and systems, and resolve bugs across the stack.

• Stay current with industry trends in animation, robotics, and AI-assisted development tools, and use those tools fluidly and responsibly as part of your workflow.

️ Who we are looking for

• You have a strong understanding of 3D math and algorithms: quaternions, skeletal hierarchies, rigid body kinematics.

• You are proficient in C# and/or C++, as well as scripting languages like Python.

• You have experience with real-time data streaming over networked protocols.

• You are comfortable working across the stack, from low-level driver or protocol work to web-facing tooling.

• You have excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

• You have strong written and spoken English.

• You are able to work collaboratively across multiple locations.

We will be thrilled if you have the knowledge of one of these...

• Familiarity with inertial sensor data: IMU output, quaternion integration, or sparse sensor fusion is a plus.

• Knowledge of physics-based animation or biomechanical modelling.

• Familiarity with motion capture data and techniques.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Animation, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  
  ️ Rokoko perks and benefits

  • Work with an international team of talented individuals and a rare opportunity to work with professional motion capture/or other ESP

  • Fantastic office location, catered lunch scheme, healthy snacks and beverages

  • 30 days of paid holiday(annual)

  • Healthcare insurance and pension scheme

  • Work-life balance - we want you to win both at work and in life
