Job description

Senior 3D Graphics Engineer

Helsinki – onsite – full-time, permanent

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.
• 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 avoids unnecessary complexity.
• Motivated and results-oriented.
• Interest in games and graphics technologies.

Benefits and Compensation

We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.
