Our team is responsible for the application interface to the graphics hardware, which we implement using industry-standard graphics APIs like Vulkan, Direct3D, Metal, and WebGPU, to name a few.

  • Support and develop testing, optimization frameworks, and other diagnostic tools to maintain product quality and performance

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or other related scientific discipline, or equivalent experience

  • At least ten years working with computer graphics rendering techniques including geometric rendering, lighting and illumination, texture mapping, and compute shading

  • At least eight years of C++ programming experience using classes, templates, and polymorphism

  • Ability to implement, debug, and optimize complex algorithms, shaders, and rendering sequences

  • Excellent communication skills

You might also have

  • Knowledge of modern graphics APIs (Vulkan/Metal/DX12)

  • Experience with RenderDoc, Pix, NVIDIA’s nSight, and similar tools
