Senior C++ Rendering / Graphics Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Senior C++ Rendering / Graphics Engineer to become a vital part of our software development team. This role involves advancing high-performance 3D graphics and real-time rendering systems using contemporary C++ standards alongside graphics APIs like Vulkan and OpenGL.

Responsibilities

• Architect, implement, and enhance real-time rendering systems using C++.
• Develop graphics features leveraging Vulkan and/or OpenGL APIs.
• Engage with diverse segments of the rendering pipeline, covering both CPU-driven architecture and GPU execution phases.
• Create and optimize GPU shaders utilizing GLSL language.
• Apply advanced rendering approaches, including lighting, shadowing, post-processing effects, and physically based rendering models.
• Analyze and improve performance on CPU and GPU fronts.
• Optimize the rendering pipeline to reduce frame times, memory consumption, and increase throughput.
• Formulate methods to manage large-scale, high-polygon 3D scenes effectively.
• Implement techniques like level of detail (LOD), instancing, culling, and indirect rendering to improve efficiency.
• Identify and troubleshoot rendering and GPU-related performance issues using specialized graphics debugging tools.
• Help architect and evolve the rendering engine continuously.
• Collaborate closely with fellow C++ and graphics software engineers to achieve technical goals.

Eligibility and Profile

• Multiple years of professional experience with modern C++ standards (C++17 / C++20).
• Strong expertise in 3D graphics programming and real-time rendering technologies.
• Hands-on proficiency with Vulkan and/or OpenGL graphics APIs.
• Deep understanding of GPU rendering pipelines and their operations.
• Skill in GLSL shader programming and GPU compute.
• Knowledge of rendering concepts including physically based rendering (PBR), lighting, post-processing, and mesh rendering.
• Experience in optimizing CPU and GPU performance for rendering workloads.
• Familiarity with profiling/debugging tools such as RenderDoc and NVIDIA Nsight.
• Experience using Git version control and CMake build system.
• Fluent in English communication.
