Expert Rendering Engineer

European Tech Recruit are working closely with a multinational tech company, based in Dublin, who are looking for a talented Expert Rendering Engineer to join their team.

In this role you will lead a team researching and co-developing a next-generation graphics engine, specifically engineered to improve performance of mobile games and mobile GPU rendering algorithms. You will have hands-on ownership of the core rendering architecture, from advanced material systems and programmable pipelines to runtime performance optimization.

Responsibilities as Expert Rendering Engineer:

• Lead a team developing real-time rendering systems.
• Coordinate with leadership on project planning, resource allocation and headcount.
• Provide guidance to leadership on the latest real-time rendering and gaming trends.
• Research and develop advanced real-time rendering pipelines, including material systems, programmable pipelines, and ShaderLab optimization.
• Identify key developments and trends in mobile computer graphics research from SIGGRAPH, Eurographics, EGSR, JCGT, i3D and many others, and propose novel solutions to key challenges in game engine graphics related fields to advance the state-of-the-art.
• Stay updated with emerging rendering technologies from commercial engines (e.g., ray tracing, Nanite) and propose innovative solutions. Devise a technical implementation plan based on these proposals and take responsibility for ensuring that it is successful and converted into production.
• Maintain communication with academia and industry partners with a focus on analysing potential benefits to product goals from collaboration.
• Collaborate with internal rendering teams to align technical innovation with production goals.

Requirements:

• Proven ability to lead teams to deliver large projects.
• 8+ years of experience with C/C++ with a proven ability to architect large-scale, maintainable system.
• 4+ years of experience with at least one modern graphics APIs in a commercial project (Metal/Direct3D 12/Vulkan).
• Strong Shader programming skills (HLSL/GLSL/Metal).
• Solid understanding of modern rendering techniques (ray tracing, global illumination, or GPU-driven rendering) and 3D math (linear algebra).
• Hands-on experience with Unity, Unreal 4/5, Godot or other game engines used for mobile games and relevant debugging tools such as RenderDoc, Pix, NVIDIA NSight or similar.
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

Desirable technologies:

• Shipped titles are a heavy plus.
• Prior involvement in game engine development (Unity, Lumberyard, Unreal 4/5 or in-house engines) is a heavy plus.
• Experience with data-oriented design and ECS is a plus.
• Ability to translate research paper ideas into working code and solve complex problems while considering end-user requirements.
• Metal and/or DX12 experience is a plus.
• Prior experience with graphics development on Android or iOS is a heavy plus.
