About Us
VELVET FLARE is a Luxembourg-based creative technology company specialising in the research, development and manufacture of innovative technologies for the cultural and creative industries. We develop software that supports every stage of the creative process: our applications make advanced creative tools accessible through intuitive interfaces, without compromising on their power. Our solutions include Fluo, a creative writing assistant, and Flow, a mobile app dedicated to choreography and the exploration of movement. We also design hardware and embedded systems for professionals in the performing arts, audiovisual sector, interactive installations and immersive experiences, combining electronics, embedded computing, sensors, networks and software to meet the demands of professional productions. The Role Within the technical team, you will play a pivotal role in the development and optimisation of our interactive projects. As a Game Engines Developer, your mission will be to push the technical limits of our applications on Unreal Engine and Unity, build performant tools for our creative teams, and ensure the smoothness of our XR experiences, from prototype through to deployment on standalone headsets. Required Skills On Unreal Engine, you are comfortable in C++ and Blueprints, and you know your way around Materials, UMG for UI, and Animation Blueprints and state machines. On Unity, you work confidently with Timelines, C#, Shaders and Shader Graphs, Animator and Animation Rigging, Prefabs and Scriptable Objects, and Addressables or Asset Bundles. On the XR side, you have hands-on experience with OpenXR, Meta XR and the Vive SDK, with Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit or Unreal's VR Template, and you know how to optimise performance for standalone headsets such as Quest. You are at ease with Git and Perforce, including version control for large binary assets through LFS, and you use the Unity Profiler or Unreal Insights, along with RenderDoc, to track down and fix performance issues. Strong organisational skills, adaptability in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment and the ability to explain technical workflows and concepts to non-technical collaborators all matter as much as technical depth. Fluency in English is required; French is an advantage. Nice to Have Experience with Godot, VFX work, XRoam/LBVR Pulse, basic networking or Unity Fishnet is a plus, as is experience deploying on the Meta and Steam platforms, and basic CI/CD knowledge for game builds (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
