Jobs
Who are we?
We are a technological company specialising in software development for 3D computer graphics
and visual effects with offices in Prague and Prostějov. Our technology helps artists and designers
create photoreal imagery and animation for design, television, and feature films. We have recently
become a part of an Academy Award–winning company Chaos Group. Our Corona Renderer and Chaos’
V–Ray are the most popular software tools in their class worldwide.
But most importantly, we are a group of friends and enthusiasts, and our business as well as the
entire company culture is built around that.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for motivated people to help us expand our team developing our world–class rendering engine.
There are plenty of interesting tasks that you could help us with. Depending on your preference and expertise,
you may work on software architecture design and implementation, 3D computer graphics algorithms,
GPU programming, UI design and implementation, system programming, code optimization, infrastructure

reference contacts. Write to hiring@corona-renderer.com.
What do we offer?
