Senior Metal Developer

I currently have a stable job as the main developer of the project Paella Player. Is a multi-stream video player, used as the main video player of the Opencast project. Although the video player is only a small part of the whole project, I am proud to be part of a platform that is being used by some of the most important educational institutions around the world. But the area of expertise where I have more experience is computer graphics, and I have always developed it through personal projects. It has never been my main source of income. I would like to work with low-level graphics APIs, such as Vulkan, Direct3D or Metal. I wouldn't mind working with WebGL, directly or through WebAssembly, but I have less interest in these technologies, because I'm already using them in my personal projects.

Why hire a Metal developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a Metal developer, multiple developers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote Metal developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote Metal developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
