TL;DR

As a Senior Software Engineer specializing in 3D Visualization with OpenGL at Prism Mapping, you will be responsible for designing and extending rendering features using OpenGL and VTK, optimizing real-time performance under clinical workloads, and collaborating closely with UI/UX engineers to enhance the visual experience for clinicians. Your day-to-day tasks include debugging complex issues related to shaders and GPU memory, leading development cycles from design to support, and mentoring junior team members on advanced topics like rendering and 3D math. The role requires expertise in OpenGL or similar APIs, VTK, Qt/QML integration, and strong Python or C++ skills, alongside experience with Linux, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing. You will work within a regulated environment, contributing to the architecture of large-scale software applications while ensuring high performance and reliability for medical imaging solutions.
