Python Game Developer (Panda3D)

$50–120/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: STEM and Coding

Use Panda3D, Python and C++ to complete 3D game and simulation tasks for an AI training project. The contract also requires screen-recorded workflows, clear technical explanations, debugging and performance optimization.

The work

You will create and modify 3D games and simulations in Panda3D, working with models, animations, controls, game logic and interactive environments. Tasks may involve implementing mechanics, diagnosing bugs, improving performance and recording the development process step by step.

What the platform screens for

The screen is likely to test professional Panda3D experience through concrete project examples and technical follow-up. Required qualifications include hands-on experience with Python and C++ programming, familiarity with GitHub, knowledge of 3D graphics and simulations, and English proficiency at B2 level or higher. A relevant master's degree or PhD, a Panda3D or 3D development portfolio, optimization experience and previous human data work such as annotation, RLHF or AI model evaluation are preferred rather than required.

Practical details

This is a remote contract role. You need access to Panda3D and the ability to record your screen while completing tasks. The listing does not state typical weekly hours or confirm whether scheduling is fully asynchronous, so candidates should be ready to clarify workload, deadlines and meeting expectations with micro1.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your Panda3D experience is verifiable and whether you can distinguish your own engineering contribution from the work of a wider team.
A strong answer: Anchor the answer in a specific project, its runtime goals and your ownership of concrete systems such as scene management, controls, collisions, animation or rendering. Mention an implementation decision and an observable result.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing a general 3D project without showing that Panda3D was actually used or what code they personally wrote.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.
