What You Will Do

• Develop and optimize real-time rendering features on mobile platforms using Vulkan (Android) and Metal (iOS).
• Work with clustered/meshlet-based geometry systems, implementing GPU-driven visibility, culling, and LOD.
• Integrate and refine modern rendering techniques such as clustered/tiled lighting, temporal anti-aliasing (TAA), and super-resolution (TSR).
• Assist in developing real-time global illumination features with senior technical staff, ensuring scalability across device tiers.
• Write and optimize shaders (HLSL/GLSL/MSL) for power-efficient mobile performance.
• Profile GPU/CPU performance and analyze rendering bottlenecks using tools like RenderDoc, Perfetto, Xcode GPU Debugger, and Mali/Snapdragon profilers.
• Contribute to GPU memory layout design, draw submission strategies, and render pass optimizations for tile-based GPUs.
• Collaborate with engine and content teams to meet visuals quality and performance goals across platforms.
• Stay informed on industry rendering trends and suggest pipeline improvements.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of graphics programming experience, with a focus on mobile platforms.
• Strong C++ skills with experience in performance-critical rendering code.
• Solid knowledge of Vulkan and/or Metal APIs.
• Experience with Unity’s Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP), including extending or customizing SRPs.
• Understanding of mobile GPU architecture (tiling, bandwidth, power constraints).
• Proficiency in GPU performance profiling and optimization workflows.
• Familiarity with compute-based rendering techniques, GPU-driven pipelines, and modern culling/visibility approaches.

Bonus Points

• Experience with UE5’s Nanite/Lumen or equivalent advanced rendering solutions.
• Background in custom engine development or low-level rendering systems.
• Contributions to open-source graphics tools or technical publications.
• Cross-platform rendering experience beyond mobile (PC/console).
