    • Proven ability to write clean, simple, and well-documented code based on design requirements.
    • Demonstrated track record of working effectively both independently and collaboratively within a dynamic team.
    • Experience with Android and/or iOS mobile application development.
    • Up-to-date understanding of current mobile gaming trends.
    • Experience working with Agile, Kanban, or similar project management methodologies.
    • Experience with at least one graphics API (e.g. Metal, Vulkan, OpenGL, DirectX).
    • Proficiency rendering for game engines such as Unity3D or Unreal Engine is nice to have but not required
    • Experience with graphics debugging and optimization on Android and iOS platforms.
    • Ability to profile and identify CPU and/or GPU performance issues, and implement optimizations.
