Senior 3D Graphics Engineer

We are looking for an experienced 3D Graphics Engineer to join our central tech team, which focuses on developing shared in-house graphics technologies and workflows that power our games. In this role, you will primarily develop rendering systems with predictable performance across a variety of devices.

You’ll be joining a small but highly focused and effective team. Our team's responsibility is to optimize 3D assets from DCC tools, move them through the engine, and ultimately render them on power-constrained devices. We collaborate closely with multiple game teams, ensuring that our shared graphics technology serves both creative and technical needs.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with game teams to identify and solve problems in 3D graphics, rendering, runtime performance, and memory efficiency.

• Iterate and improve upon existing legacy systems that are already widely used, ensuring minimal production disruption.

• Support artists and designers in achieving the game’s visual targets while maintaining excellent runtime performance, especially on low-end hardware.

• Communicate effectively with game teams and other stakeholders, building trust, providing clarity on deep technical topics, and minimizing surprises.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in related fields.

• Ability to write efficient, simple, and reliable C/C++.

• Experience with real-time applications (60Hz+).

• Ability to work with legacy codebases.

• Shader programming experience (GLSL, MSL, HLSL, or equivalent).

• Low-level graphics API experience (OpenGL ES 3.0, Metal, Vulkan, or equivalent).

• Experience with multi-threaded systems.

• Solid 3D math skills.

• Ability to collaborate, communicate, and support tech and game teams.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with data-oriented design.

• Experience with low-end/power-constrained mobile platforms or game consoles.

• Experience with 3D engines and asset pipelines.

• Experience with graphics analysis and profiling tools (RenderDoc, Metal Debugger, ARM Streamline, etc.)

• A working understanding of CPU and GPU architectures.

• Always aims for simplicity in designs and implementations, and especially avoids unnecessary complexity.

• Motivated and results-oriented.

• Interest in games and graphics technologies.
