You’ll have experience with
- Developing rendering systems in Unreal Engine.

- Working directly with client teams.
- Helping others make informed technical decisions around rendering.
You’ll be familiar with
- Unreal Engine’s rendering architecture.
- Lumen, Nanite and Virtual Shadow Maps.
- Upscaling and frame generation technologies such as DLSS, FSR and XeSS.
- Modern graphics APIs such as DirectX 12 or Vulkan.
- Graphics debugging and profiling tools such as RenderDoc, PIX or Unreal Insights.
- Shader development using HLSL.
- Rendering across PC and console platforms.
You’ll enjoy this role if

By removing ambiguity around compensation, we help people focus on doing great work, not guessing their worth.

What to Expect
The interview process is done remotely and is generally made up of two stages:
- Technical interview (45-60 minutes) – A formal interview with our technical hiring managers. This will be a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss your development experience and ambitions in detail. We prefer this to be in the form of a discussion rather than a formal coding exam, but you may be asked to complete some exam questions if the role and level demand it.
- Final interview (45-60 minutes) – A final interview with our company directors or members of our management team. This will be a chance for you to get to know the senior management team and all the things that make us unique. You will have a lot of opportunities to ask any questions about the studio and culture.
