Job Level

About the role

  • Map Unity graphics and rendering features onto third-party renderers while preserving visual consistency and performance.
  • Build shader/material translation pipelines that cross-compile bytecode, convert coordinate systems, and reconcile lighting models across engines.
  • Engineer robust graphical systems that remain stable and resource-efficient even when scaled to massive user-generated content libraries
  • Profile and optimize end-to-end rendering for high framerates and fidelity while minimizing overhead and sync stalls

Requirements

  • Multi-Engine Fluency: Significant experience with Unity's rendering architecture, and at least one other high-end renderer (Unreal, Frostbite, etc).
  • Shader & API Depth: Strong understanding of shader languages (HLSL/GLSL/Metal) and graphics APIs (DirectX, Vulkan, Metal), and the ability to translate between them.
  • Pipeline Mindset: You understand the full asset lifecycle—from authoring through import, batching, streaming, and rendering—including shader compilation, mesh processing, and texture streaming.
  • Systems-First Engineer: You prioritize building stable, scalable, maintainable systems over chasing the latest graphics techniques.
