OpenGL Engineer — Scorched Nebraska

Location: Remote (global)
Type: Contract-to-hire / Ongoing Collaboration
Compensation: Competitive + creative upside

About Scorched Nebraska

Scorched Nebraska is a living simulation — a world rendered from memory, lattice, and light. Built on the Procedura Corp engine stack, it combines agent cognition, voxel lattices, and AI-driven narrative surfaces to create a persistent, evolving environment.

We are not using Unity. We are not using Unreal. We are building our own substrate, one bitstream and diff at a time.

Now we need an OpenGL engineer who can make this world visible.

Your Role

You will design and implement the graphics backbone of Scorched Nebraska.

Your first milestone:

  • Build a low-poly lattice renderer in OpenGL.
  • Translate voxel/BitStream data into real-time geometry and shader passes.
  • Deliver a working pipeline that emphasizes clarity, speed, and style over fidelity.

Your long-term contributions:

  • Evolve the renderer into more advanced effects (procedural shaders, atmospheric overlays, narrative distortion).
  • Optimize frame updates from our diff-driven engine (DiffBall/DiffBatch).
  • Collaborate with AI agents, narrative surfaces, and the simulation engine to turn raw lattice data into meaningful visuals.
  • Explore creative rendering modes (e.g., shader-driven storytelling, glitch-aesthetics, memory-like distortions).

What We’re Looking For

  • Deep knowledge of modern OpenGL (core profile) and GLSL.
  • Experience with low-poly rendering, voxel graphics, or procedural pipelines.
  • Comfort working outside conventional engines — this is bespoke architecture.
  • Interest in experimental media, AI-driven systems, and simulation aesthetics.

Nice to have:

  • Shader artistry (Shadertoy, demoscene, creative coding).
  • Vulkan/Metal exposure.
  • Familiarity with AI/LLM-integrated pipelines.

Why Join

  • You’ll define the visual identity of Scorched Nebraska from the very first polygons.
  • Work alongside a small, dedicated team building an engine from first principles.
  • Freedom to experiment — both technically and creatively.
  • Your work won’t just render a world — it will shape how agents, players, and stories experience it.

How to Apply

Send a short introduction, portfolio/demo links, and any relevant projects to:
📧 careers@scorchednebraska.com

If you’ve ever written an OpenGL pipeline from scratch, built a voxel renderer, or spent too much time on Shadertoy — we want to talk to you.

Executive Assistant to the CTO — Scorched Nebraska

Hybrid (New York, NY / Remote)
Full-Time | Procedura Corp

About Scorched Nebraska

Scorched Nebraska is a frontier world built by Procedura Corp — an ecosystem where technology, storytelling, and commerce collide.
We’re launching the next phase of the Scorched Nebraska universe: a live e-commerce platform connecting our world simulation, apparel line, and creative brand into one seamless experience.

If you love living at the intersection of tech, design, and narrative, this is your chance to help launch something extraordinary.

The Role

We’re looking for a highly organized, adaptable Executive Assistant to work directly with our CTO of Scorched Nebraska (and CEO of Procedura Corp).
You’ll be the connective force behind the brand’s upcoming e-commerce launch — supporting world-building operations, coordinating between creative and engineering teams, and ensuring everything runs on time and in sync.

This is a dynamic hybrid role that blends executive support, project coordination, and brand operations. You’ll help bridge the gap between vision and execution in one of the most creative tech environments out there.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage schedules, communications, and day-to-day priorities for the CTO/CEO.
  • Coordinate across product, engineering, and creative teams to keep the Scorched Nebraska e-commerce launch on track.
  • Track product drops, inventory updates, and content pipelines across internal systems.
  • Draft correspondence, briefs, and summaries for internal and partner communications.
  • Support logistics for shoots, product packaging, and fulfillment vendors.
  • Help prepare materials for investor, partner, and event presentations.
  • Uphold the Scorched Nebraska voice and tone in external communications.

Who You Are

  • 3–5 years of experience supporting senior leadership in a startup, creative tech, or e-commerce environment.
  • Exceptional communicator — written, verbal, and visual.
  • Deeply organized with strong multitasking and prioritization skills.
  • Comfortable working across both technical and creative disciplines.
  • Highly proactive, discreet, and resourceful.
  • Passion for storytelling, design, and digital world-building is a plus.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with commerce systems (Shopify, Square, custom APIs).
  • Exposure to creative pipelines — photography, branding, product design.
  • Comfort with Notion, Airtable, or project-tracking tools.
  • Basic understanding of developer workflows or digital infrastructure.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance bonuses.
  • Flexible hybrid work with creative sessions in New York.
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Early access to Scorched Nebraska product drops and events.
  • Opportunity to grow with a brand shaping the intersection of AI, world design, and commerce.
