**Visualization Application Developer** **Location: Remote \-** **Employment type: Contract** They are looking for senior visualization experts who can bring a fresh set of eyes to an existing product and significantly improve the quality and realism of 2D and 3D displays. The ideal candidate has worked on visually intensive desktop applications and can operate within an established enterprise framework while still challenging and elevating current approaches. Job Description: The SEM product is embedded within the DecisionSpace Geosciences (DSG) suite of desktop applications. It includes multiple 2D and 3D visualization views. While the product is functional, both visualization experts and product owners agree the display quality is not where it needs to be. The team believes it can be significantly improved and is seeking fresh perspective and expertise to drive that change. This role will partner closely with the technical lead and product owner to understand current limitations, research alternative approaches, propose solutions, and implement improvements. A key early requirement will be learning the internal visualization framework within DSG.
