As a Senior 3D Programmer on our team, you will be both a hands-on programmer and a direction-providing mentor across the 3D spectrum to connect with our players on two of the most critical aspects of a AAA game: its visuals and its performance.

What you will do:

  • Write and review code customized to the hardware you're working with
  • Coach and mentor other members of the graphics team, empowering them to innovate
  • Provide support to content creators, meeting often to assess their needs and vision + discuss limitations
  • Improve existing graphical features and inspire the development of new ones
  • Anticipate complex problems + propose adapted solutions, considering the entire production pipeline
  • Explore new hardware and deal with the interesting challenges and opportunities it poses
  • Stay up to date on the latest tech trends and techniques + recommend our best practices

Qualifications

What you bring:

  • Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
  • Around 5 years of graphics programming experience (for video-game consoles a huge plus) or related experience
  • Proficiency in C++
  • Analytical and mathematical Skills
  • Knowledge of GPUs, HLSL, and modern graphics APIs (e.g. DirectX 12 and Vulkan) + understanding of game engines and their limitations
  • A thorough grasp of memory management & multithreaded programming techniques
  • Solid interpersonal and presentation skills & the ability to clearly communicate cross-departmentally
  • A long-term approach to problem-solving (if the solution isn't sustainable, it simply won't do)
  • A collaborative and innovative spirit
  • Willingness to continue learning - new technologies, engines, rendering techniques, programming languages, you name it

* Technical proficiency in areas of 2D and 3D art a plus

What to send our way:

  • Your CV, highlighting your education, experience, and skills
  • A cover letter including your earliest starting date, expected salary and why you would like to join us
  • Any relevant code/work samples you can provide are highly appreciated
