Posted: Jun 15, 2026

Description

MPG is seeking a highly experienced Rendering Engineer to join their co-development and full-development studio. The successful candidate will work deeply within proprietary codebases, focusing on low-level engine code using DirectX 12, Vulkan, and Metal. Responsibilities include designing, building, and maintaining high-performance rendering backends, resolving GPU/CPU bottlenecks, and extending existing engines like Unreal. The role emphasizes frame-time engineering, requiring a strong background in rendering or engine development.

Additional Information

Required Previous Experiences: An established track record in rendering or engine engineering, shipping high-performance rendering systems for AAA, film/VFX, XR or simulation across a number of products.
Deep experience with modern C++ and solid shader authoring and debugging (HLSL, MSL or GLSL).
Production experience shipping with at least two of Metal, DirectX 12, Vulkan or GNM/GNMX.
Deep working knowledge of the full pipeline: rasterization, compute and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Fluency in modern rendering techniques: PBR, GI, ambient occlusion, volumetrics, and post-processing (AA, HDR, tone mapping, motion blur), with awareness of current GPU-driven pipelines, meshlet rendering, and real-time path tracing workflows.
Comfortable dropping into unfamiliar codebases and making sound architectural calls independently.
Solid applied 3D maths, plus technical writing other engineers actually want to read.
Preferred Qualifications: Practical experience with mesh shading pipelines (DX12, Vulkan, Metal) to optimize geometry processing and reduce CPU overhead.
Familiarity with modern hardware variations, including console and Apple Silicon unified memory architectures.
Shipped ray tracing or heavily compute-driven rendering.
Extensive Unreal Engine source modifications.
