Asset Pipeline Developer

Asset Pipeline Developer - Immediate Start

🚀 The Opportunity

We're Zero One Creative - building Amara, an AI-powered Unreal Engine plugin that turns "cosy coffee shop" into a complete, playable 3D scene. You'll build the intelligence layer that makes this possible.

Here's how this works:

• Start ASAP on a paid 2-week sprint (£1000) where you'll help in the development of the asset intelligence pipeline

• Deliver results, prove you're exceptional, and we'll instantly convert you to permanent at $100,000 - $150,000 salary

• This isn't a trial period - it's a high-intensity sprint to build the data foundation of our entire platform

🎯 The Challenge

Help us build the system that understands every 3D asset in an Unreal project. Your pipeline will scan numerous ‘uasset’ meshes, extract their physical and semantic DNA, and generate embeddings that let our scene orchestration system know exactly what assets it can choose from. Transform raw game assets into a queryable intelligence layer that knows what objects are, what they mean, how they behave.

Your sprint deliverable: A production-ready asset processing pipeline that outputs structured JSON metadata with visual/semantic embeddings, and enables intelligent asset retrieval for scene generation.

What You'll be Building

• Asset discovery system - Efficiently scan Unreal projects without full project loads

• Metadata extraction - Dimensions, collision bounds, materials, pivot offsets, affordances etc

• Embedding generation - CLIP for visual similarity, SBERT for semantic search

• Schema validation - JSON contracts that bridge Asset Pipeline → Scene Orchestrator

• Processing optimization - Handle many of assets with async/multiprocessing

You're Our Person If You Have:

✅ Python + production data pipelines - You've built robust processing systems that scale

✅ Embedding models in practice - CLIP, SBERT, or similar vector models aren't just buzzwords to you

✅ 3D/spatial thinking - Meshes, transforms, collision bounds, and UE metadata make sense

Bonus points: Unreal Engine scripting, game asset pipelines, vector databases, Docker

📞 First Step: Show Us You're an A-Player

If you're available to start immediately, we'll book a 15-minute call where you can show us:

• Your most complex data pipeline project and what made it hard

• Evidence of exceptional work you've shipped at scale

• Why you're in the top 1% at building robust, production-grade systems

We're looking for developers who build foundations that don't break when the real world hits them.

Why This Matters

You're not building a feature - you're building the intelligence layer that makes AI-powered 3D creation possible. Every asset selected, every scene generated, every object placed intelligently traces back to the pipeline you'll architect in these two weeks.

This is founding-engineer-level impact on a system at the intersection of generative AI and real-time 3D.

Start: ASAP (literally as soon as you're ready)

Duration: 2-week paid sprint (£1000) → instant conversion to $100k-$150k if exceptional

Location: London (on-site preferred - we can provide temporary accommodation if you're relocating)
