About the Role

Obruta is growing our team as we build the autonomy technologies required for fully-automated spacecraft pilots and we lay the foundation for a sustainable in-space economy. Obruta is seeking a keen, passionate Unreal Engine Front-End Developer to join our team. You will be responsible for building a compelling and intuitive user experience for our spaceflight digital twin and simulation platform. Your work will directly enable our engineers and operators to visualize complex orbital scenarios, control simulated spacecraft, and analyze mission data in a visually stunning and easy-to-use environment.

Obruta is a remote-first company, but requires periodic travel to Ottawa, Ontario. The team is currently located across eastern Canada and therefore a slight preference is given to candidates in those locations. Please apply with your resume and GitHub using the "Apply" button.

• Must be able to work in Canada.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain interfaces using Unreal Engine's UMG (Unreal Motion Graphics) framework.
• Develop intuitive data visualization tools to display complex telemetry, parameters, and simulation metrics in a clear real-time interface.
• Document work and facilitate knowledge-transfer.
• Build the front-end logic that communicates with our back-end simulation and autonomy software, ensuring a seamless integration.
• Collaborate closely with our robotics and autonomy engineers to translate their technical needs into effective user interface and experience designs.
• Honest and clear communication about work status, timelines, and conflicts.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Game Development, Computer Science, or a similar field.
• 2+ years of professional experience developing front-end applications within Unreal Engine 4/5.
• Proficiency with Unreal Engine's UI/UX tools, specifically UMG and Blueprint scripting.

• Excellent communication skills—they’re essential for us all to flourish.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of networking fundamentals for local and cloud-hosted applications (e.g., TCP/IP sockets).
• Experience with version control systems, especially Git.
• Familiarity with the C++ programming language for performance-critical tasks in Unreal Engine.
• Experience with Python or other scripting languages for back-end communication.

We know the confidence gap and imposter syndrome get in the way of meeting incredible candidates, and don’t want it to get in the way of meeting you. If you feel like you don’t meet all the requirements for this role, we encourage you to apply anyways.

About Obruta

Obruta Space Solutions was founded in 2019 with a vision of humanity reaching an interplanetary future. To achieve this, Obruta is building advanced autonomy technology and laying the foundation for a sustainable multiplanetary economy.

Today's satellites cannot be repaired, refueled, or reused. The single-use paradigm of the space economy restricts the missions we can perform and limits the market's economic potential. Obruta is changing this with our flagship product, the RPOD Kit. With a turnkey system for spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking, satellite servicing and reusable logistics are being brought to the commercial market so that maintaining a spacecraft is as easy as maintaining your car.

If you share our vision, then we invite you to apply to join our growing team and help lay the foundation for humanity’s interplanetary future.
