Qualifications

• Strong HLSL shader programming experience.
• Fluency with node-based tools such as Shader Graph or Amplify.
• Strong understanding of real-time rendering including blending, transparency, sorting, depth, instancing, and scriptable or custom render pipelines.
• Experience shipping particle-based effects in Unity using Shuriken or equivalent systems.
• Experience with mesh particles, trails, flipbooks, and shader-driven effects.
• Experience designing scalable effect runtimes for high-frequency effects, including pooling, batching, prioritization, or budget management.
• Strong C# gameplay or engine programming experience.
• Experience with ECS/DOTS, Jobs, Burst, or equivalent performance-focused architecture is strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of mobile GPU optimization including overdraw, half precision, texture budgets, memory, and shader variants.
• Unity editor tooling experience including custom inspectors, drawers, asset processors, or batch tools.
• Understanding of Metal, Vulkan, and GLES, including platform-specific graphics limitations and shader or PSO warmup.
• Strong communication skills across both artistic and engineering disciplines.
• Fluent English.

Responsibilities

• Develop scalable runtime systems for high-frequency gameplay effects.
• Build solutions for pooling, shared emitters, batching, prioritization, and effect budgets.
• Develop shaders using HLSL, Shader Graph, Amplify, or similar tools.
• Work with particle systems, mesh particles, trails, flipbooks, procedural effects, and GPU-driven techniques.
• Build artist-facing Unity tools, validators, custom inspectors, asset processors, and batch workflows.
• Optimize effects for mobile GPUs, memory, overdraw, shader complexity, and runtime performance.
• Collaborate with VFX Artists, Technical Artists, Gameplay Engineers, and Rendering Engineers.
• Prototype new technical approaches and take successful solutions through to production.
• Establish reusable templates, documentation, and technical standards for the VFX team.
