• Real‑world experience of graphics programming on a shipped product.
• Solid working knowledge of engine architecture and common graphics algorithms.
• A good understanding of modern GPU architecture, ideally across multiple platforms and hardware generations.
• Experience with modern graphics API such as Vulkan, Direct3D 12 or Metal; expertise with C++, C#, and shader languages such as HLSL.
• Experience in profiling and optimizing performance.
• Great teamwork and interpersonal skills, including good communication skills and a proactive work ethic.
• Passion for performance, code analysis, and debugging tools.
• Willingness to jump into unfamiliar technical areas.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals.

You might also have

• Experience with GPU driven rendering techniques.
• Experience with mesh clustering, clustered mesh culling or mesh shaders.
• Experience developing for mobile, console or VR.
• Experience with streaming technologies such as mesh or texture streaming, virtual texturing, mipmap streaming, LOD or meshlet streaming.
• Experience of Neural Rendering techniques.
• Experience with culling technologies such such as frustum, occlusion culling or cluster culling.
• Experience with other Game Engines.
