• Strong proficiency in C++.
• Hands‑on experience with one or more graphics APIs: DirectX (DX11/12), Vulkan, OpenGL, or Metal.
• Solid understanding of Rendering pipelines.
• Solid understanding of Shaders (HLSL/GLSL).
• 3D math and real-time graphics concepts.
• Experience with Unreal Engine or similar game engines.
• Familiarity with performance optimization (CPU/GPU, memory, multithreading).
• Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, distributed team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with engine customization or low‑level systems development.
• Familiarity with profiling tools (RenderDoc, PIX, Nsight, etc.).
• Experience working on cross-platform or performance‑constrained environments.
• Exposure to tooling, pipelines, or editor extensions.
• Background in multiplayer or large-scale systems.
