Job Purpose
As a Senior Rendering Engineer you will work closely with all disciplines to get the most from the engine and hardware. Using Unreal Engine 5 as the base, you will augment and expand the engine to create world-leading visuals and gameplay.
Previous experience working as an Engine or Rendering Engineer on a shipped AAA title is essential for this role, as is a practical knowledge of code architecture best practices. Effective communication and collaboration skills are required for working with internal stakeholders, and you must have the drive and passion to push for higher quality at every opportunity.
This is a unique opportunity to join a growing team of industry veterans and help set the future technical direction for this ambitious title.
