Join the award-winning team that created God of War
You’re into tech, really all tech, but graphics and low-level stuff are your bread and butter. Optimizations? Definitely, both CPU and GPU. Graphics systems? Of course, whatever the artists need to make the highest quality visuals. And part of you thinks like they do, which is great, since you will be collaborating with them. You’re hard-working and motivated, with tons of initiative. You get things done. Sound interesting? Give us a shout!

- Profile, optimize, and remove bottlenecks
- Provide runtime engine and project-specific support
