Job summary

European Tech Recruit seeks a Senior Graphics Algorithm Architect to own the research, design, and optimization of breakthrough rendering algorithms. The role focuses on real-time GPU rendering, hardware ray tracing, and energy-efficient techniques across the full algorithm lifecycle on-site in Cambridge.

You will drive algorithmic strategy, publish research, file patents, and push for maximum frame rates within power budgets.

Qualifications

Master’s or bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computer Graphics, or a related technical discipline.
Strong algorithmic foundation in modern rendering pipelines, hardware ray tracing, path tracing, or real-time spatial reconstruction.
High proficiency in low-level algorithm development and memory optimization using modern graphics APIs (Vulkan, DirectX 12, Metal, or OpenCL).
Located in or open to relocating to Cambridge, UK.

Responsibilities

Lead architectural research and formulate novel algorithms for next-generation GPU rendering pipelines.
Design and refine high-performance techniques for Ray Tracing, Path Tracing, PBR, SSR/occlusion, and neural reconstruction.
Map and tune complex mathematical models to maximize throughput on parallel GPU architectures.
Eliminate bottlenecks across geometry pipelines, shader compilation, texture streaming, and thread scheduling.
Monitor academic and industry advances to guide future GPU architecture choices, filing patents and publishing papers where appropriate.
