About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Most of our games are built on our internal engine and tools.
We believe that owning our tech gives us certain technical superpowers.
Velan works on all kinds of games, from augmented reality driven kart racers to shooters played in the dark. The varied needs of our games sets the direction for our rendering tech.
Experienced graphics programmers operate with a fair degree of autonomy at Velan. While decisions about your areas of focus will be made collaboratively with the leadership team, once an area of focus is selected, you exercise a wide degree of discretion to accomplish your technical goals.
Although each of our systems has an owner, we are a small team, and you should expect to own several different systems. Additionally, we trust you to work across the codebase with minimal barriers.
