  • Profile and optimize GPU and CPU performance across a wide range of devices, with particular emphasis on mobile.
  • Write clean, maintainable code with clear documentation and code-level comments.
  • Contribute to team growth by mentoring others, sharing best practices, and staying up-to-date with graphics and platform trends.

Must haves

  • Expert-level C++ development skills with deep knowledge of performance tuning, multi-threading, and low-level engine systems.
  • Have shipped large-scale 3D games across multiple platforms.
  • Experience with game engines and art/content pipelines.
  • Deep understanding of modern rendering pipelines and graphics APIs. We use Vulkan and Metal.
  • Proficiency with GPU profiling/debugging tools.
  • At least 6 years of Game industry experience

Nice to have

  • Employees and their dependents get medical, dental, and vision coverage, regardless of their level, tenure, or position within the company. Moreover, these benefits start on the first day of the job—there’s no waiting period before they kick in.
  • Pet Insurance for those who need it too.
  • Compassionate leave for employees who needs to take care of their family members
  • Pre-tax wellness stipend
  • Pre-tax work from home stipend
  • Access our savings plan (401K program) with company match
