Senior Graphics Algorithm Architect - Hardware / GPU / Ray Tracing / Vulkan / DirectX
About the role
Our client is looking for a Senior Graphics Algorithm Architect to research, design and optimise advanced graphics algorithms for next-generation rendering systems. The role combines computer graphics research with practical GPU engineering, and will focus on ray tracing, path tracing, physically based rendering, screen-space effects and next-generation image reconstruction.
What you will be doing
- Leading research and architecture of algorithms for next-generation graphics rendering pipelines
- Working on ray tracing, path tracing, PBR, SSR, SSAO and DLSS/FSR-style technologies
- Designing and optimising high-performance GPU graphics algorithms for parallel computing architectures
- Improving performance and stability across geometry processing, shader compilation, texture management and GPU scheduling
- Improving frame rate, latency and power efficiency of rendering workloads
- Tracking emerging graphics technologies and contributing to future technical direction
- Contributing research through publications, patents, white papers or industry-facing technical work
