WE ARE LOOKING FOR SENIOR C++ RENDERING ENGINEER (OPENGL, GPU)
We are looking for a Senior C++ Rendering Engineer to work on a custom rendering solution for an automotive project. The task is to replace an existing MapLibre-based implementation with a native renderer.
You will work directly with C++, OpenGL, and GLSL, building and adjusting the rendering pipeline and moving rendering work from CPU to GPU. Part of the job is reviewing an existing Android/Kotlin implementation to understand how things work today and reproducing that behavior in a new native architecture.
Working with us is uncomplicated, there’s a good team spirit, low-hierarchy and nonexistent bureaucracy. Our way of working is flexible too, many of our team work remotely from home with visits to our office from time to time when needed..
