Job description

RocketWerkz is an ambitious video games studio based on Auckland’s waterfront in New Zealand.

  • Influence the product strategy, recommend graphics rendering technologies and approaches to implement and prioritise key features in consultation with the CEO and Head of Engineering
  • Optimise performance, balance GPU/CPU workload and run renderer tests and automated testing
  • Work closely with the game programmers that will use the renderer
  • Mentor junior graphics programmers and work alongside tools developers
  • Understand and contribute to the project as a whole
  • Use C++, JetBrains Space and task management tools
  • Manage your own workload and work hours in consultation with the wider team

Job requirements

What we look for in our ideal candidate:

  • At least 5 years game development industry experience
  • Strong C++ skills
  • Experience with Vulkan or DirectX 11/12
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • A tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering or similar (or equivalent industry experience)


As a bonus we also look for:

  • Experience with other graphics API
  • Automated testing experience
  • A portfolio of published game projects


The position is full-time, permanent and based in beautiful Auckland, New Zealand. We have a no crunch culture, generous leave policies, amazing office views and flexible working. Assistance is provided for relocation & support for obtaining a visa. 


We highly value diversity. Regardless of disability, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or any other aspect of your culture or identity, you have an important role to play in our team.
