Functional Focus: Native UI Development, Custom Graphics Rendering, and Application Tooling
-
High-Density 3D Rendering: Author custom shaders, instanced geometry buffers, and batching algorithms to render large numbers of objects at high frame rates in a single draw call.
-
Interactive Visualization: Build 3D interactive scenes with camera controls, running on rendering timers decoupled from the underlying simulation clock.
-
Backend Connectivity: Consume a backend API from the client — REST calls for request/response operations and an async client for long-lived, server-pushed updates — without blocking the UI event loop.
-
Client Security & Packaging: Integrate UI event loops with backend state, enforce dynamic role-based UI visibility, and build installer packages with runtime-configurable server endpoints.
Requirements
Mandatory:
-
C++
-
Native GUI toolkit (e.g. Qt) with signal/slot or equivalent event model
-
OpenGL, shader programming (GLSL), instanced rendering, batching
-
Camera controls (e.g. arcball), scene graph management
-
REST client integration, async client for streaming/server-push updates
-
Role-based UI visibility, endpoint/config management
-
Installer/packaging tooling for the target OS(es)
Optional:
-
Python (for a Python-based UI framework binding)
-
QML, cross-platform UI frameworks
-
Vulkan, GPU profiling tools
-
Geodetic/3D coordinate systems, large-scene LOD techniques
-
WebSockets, connection retry/reconnect strategies
-
Certificate pinning, secure credential storage
-
Auto-update mechanisms, code signing
