3D Graphics Engine Lead Architect

3D Graphics Engine Lead Architect

European Tech Recruit are working closely with a leading telecommunications / tech company, based in Tampere, who are looking for a talented 3D Graphics Engine Lead Architect to join their team.

This role is available onsite in either Tampere or Helsinki.

Responsibilities as 3D Graphics Engine Lead Architect:

Graphics Rendering Development:

• Design and implement advanced rendering techniques (e.g., real-time ray tracing, global illumination, shading models).
• Develop and optimize graphics rendering and pipelines for different PC and mobile platforms (our OS, Android, Windows, iOS, MacOS, Linux).
• Write high-performance code in languages like C++, and GLSL for rendering engine.
• Integrate and customize graphics APIs such as Vulkan, OpenGL ES, and Molten VK/Metal.

Performance Optimization:

• Profile and optimize rendering performance to achieve high frame rates and visual fidelity within hardware constraints.
• Implement techniques like level-of-detail (LOD), culling, and texture streaming to improve efficiency.
• Debug and resolve rendering artifacts or performance bottlenecks.

Research and Innovation:

• Stay updated on cutting-edge graphics techniques and hardware advancements (e.g., GPU architectures, new APIs).
• Prototype and integrate emerging technologies like real-time ray tracing, AI-driven upscaling (DLSS), or procedural generation.
• Evaluate and adopt new tools or libraries to enhance visual quality or performance.

Cross-Platform Development:

• Ensure graphics engine is compatible across multiple operating systems (our OS, Android, Windows, iOS, MacOS, Linux).
• Adapt rendering techniques to meet platform-specific requirements and constraints.

Requirements:

• 10+ years in graphics programming, with a track record of shipped products or significant contributions to commercial or in-house graphics engines.
• Proficiency in C++, graphics APIs (e.g. Vulkan, OpenGL, Metal), shader languages (GLSL, HLSL), understanding of game/graphics engine architectures (e.g. Unreal, Unity, Godot) and mastering rendering techniques like TAA, Raytracing, Global Illumination etc.
• Strong understanding of linear algebra, 3D geometry, and some physics for realistic rendering.
• Ability to tackle complex technical challenges and optimize for performance.
• Experience in mentoring juniors and driving technical initiatives.
• Excellent oral and written English communication skills.
