Additional Information

Required Previous Experiences: Demonstrable experience in rendering or engine engineering, shipping rendering systems for AAA, film/VFX, XR or simulation.
Solid experience with modern C++ and confident shader authoring and debugging (HLSL, MSL or GLSL).
Production experience with one of Metal, DirectX 12, Vulkan or GNM/GNMX and the appetite to pick up others.
Working knowledge of the pipeline: rasterization, compute and an understanding of hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Familiarity with modern techniques: PBR, GI, ambient occlusion, volumetrics and post-processing (AA, HDR, tone mapping, motion blur).
Comfortable dropping into unfamiliar codebases and making sound technical decisions.
Solid applied 3D maths, plus technical writing other engineers actually want to read.
Preferred Qualifications: Practical experience with mesh shading pipelines (DX12, Vulkan, Metal).
Familiarity with modern hardware variations, including console and Apple Silicon unified memory architectures.
Exposure to ray tracing or compute-driven rendering.
Unreal Engine source modifications.
