Role Responsibilities:

You will be a key part of the team for one of our games. Your responsibilities will include:

• Driving for the highest image quality possible for each scene using a pragmatic approach
• Applying a deep understanding of rendering techniques and systems to meet the requirements of the game, extend the feature set and suggest new approaches

• Great Communicator - you can talk about your work. You’ll be as comfortable specifying a task with artists and collaborating on a shared codebase with engineers as you are taking
