About the role
We’re preparing for Early Access and looking for a Graphics Programmer to help optimize our visuals and unlock higher-fidelity features without compromising performance.
This is a technical role focused on rendering, optimization, and performance. You’ll work directly with engineers and artists to improve frame rates, support better lighting and atmospherics, and enable higher-quality visual content.
Responsibilities
- Optimize the rendering pipeline and performance across different platforms
- Profile and debug graphics bottlenecks (CPU & GPU)
- Collaborate with 3D artists, technical artists, and engineers to support higher-quality visuals
- Help implement lighting, atmospheric effects, and visual polish that enhance immersion
- Unlock visual features (e.g. post-processing, shader effects) without compromising performance
- Reduce technical load on other engineers by owning visual tech systems
Requirements
- Proven experience working as a graphics or rendering engineer (especially in games)
- Strong knowledge of Unreal Engine rendering pipeline (UE5 preferred)
- Familiarity with performance profiling tools (RenderDoc, Unreal Insights, etc.)
- Solid understanding of graphics APIs (DirectX, Vulkan, or similar)
- Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-paced team environment.
Bonus Skills
- Experience with LOD systems, culling, and instancing
- Familiarity with Niagara, dynamic lighting, or atmospherics in UE
- Experience with HLSL/GLSL shader development
- Prior shipped titles or indie projects a plus
