• Collaborate closely with artists and designers to achieve the visual goals of the project
• Develop and maintain tools and pipelines that empower the art team

• Analyse and optimise performance and memory usage across target platforms
• Profile, debug, and improve GPU and CPU performance
• Research and propose improvements to rendering processes, pipelines, and technology
• Contribute to scalable, multi-threaded systems that support modern game development

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of professional game development experience on PC and consoles
• Strong proficiency in C/C++
• Experience with DirectX, HLSL, and GPU programming
• Solid understanding of real-time rendering techniques and graphics pipelines
• Experience with Unreal Engine
• Experience with multi-threaded programming
• Strong performance analysis, optimisation, and debugging skills
• Strong mathematics skills relevant to graphics and rendering
• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• A passion for games and game technology

Nice to have:

• Experience shipping AAA titles
• Familiarity with modern rendering APIs and hardware trends
• Experience building internal tools for artists and technical art teams

What’s on offer:

• Competitive base salary within the advertised range
• Opportunity to work on a large-scale RPG with an experienced AAA team
• Collaborative environment with strong cross-discipline integration
• Inclusive workplace committed to diversity and equal opportunity
