SummaryBy Outscal

Senior Graphics Programmer with 7+ years of experience in console/mobile GPUs, Vulkan, DX12, Metal, and C/C++/GLSL.

Description

Senior Graphics Programmer

Onsite, Remote, or Hybrid

At Velan Studios, we foster a culture of curiosity. Our games embrace diversity and are fueled by the adventurous spirit of our team. We are the creative minds behind titles like Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit and Knockout City, and the upcoming Midnight Murder Club and Bounce Arcade. Our studio's mission is to pioneer groundbreaking gaming experiences and reimagine play in new ways.

We are looking for a veteran graphics programmer to join our engine team working on our proprietary tech and tools. Our team is small, typically less than ten. Our projects are unique with their own interesting technical challenges. If you are excited to have a big impact and high degree of autonomy, to work closely with artists and others at every stage of development, then this might be a good fit for you.

Requirements

  1. At least seven years of graphics programming experience on console and/or mobile GPUs and knowledge of one or more current GPU architectures.
  2. Comfortable with the languages we use; C, C++, and GLSL.
  3. Experience using Vulkan, DX12, Metal, and/or other modern graphics APIs.

While graphics is your area of expertise, we do not hire programmers so that they may work exclusively in one specialized area. Senior programmers are generally responsible for the full stack implementation of a feature; from engine runtime, to content creator tooling, to asset conditioning. Our codebase is small enough -- half a million lines -- that a single programmer can reasonably manage the blast radius of their work. I

In addition to the requirements above, future members of the programming team need to be ready to embrace our studio values including:

  • World class through unconventional thinking.
  • Respect for players and colleagues. Ready for the responsibility that comes from that respect.
  • Regional technology and game development community engagement.

We're thrilled that you're considering joining our team. We want to let you know that candidates who can work onsite in our Troy, NY studio are preferred. We believe that working together in person can foster better collaboration and creativity, and we're excited about the opportunity to have you right here with us. Velan Studios is made up of a team of remote, hybrid, and onsite employees, with hybrid and onsite team members operating from our Troy, NY office.

The salary for this position is typically within the range specified below* per year. Please note that the actual base pay may vary based on factors such as your qualifications, skills, experience, and other relevant considerations. In addition to your salary, our comprehensive compensation package includes various perks, such as potential annual bonuses (though they are not guaranteed), health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, a retirement savings plan, paid holidays, and flexible time-off benefits.

*$120,000. - $170,000. USD

Velan Studios is dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you are excited about a role but your experience doesn't align perfectly, we encourage you to submit a General Application. Velan Studios is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion, diversity, and providing a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. We seek to create a work culture that matches the diversity of our players.
