• Maintain existing systems, improving performance, testability and stability
• Work with multi-functional teams to bring new engine features to all platforms

What we’re looking for

• Confirmed programming skills in C++ and modern shader languages
• Knowledge of real-time 3D graphics and modern computer APIs.
• Familiarity with the Unity engine, C# programming, and writing production shaders
• Ability to collaborate with developers, customers, and leadership, both verbally and via documentation

You might also have
