Senior Game Engine Programmer

In This Role, You Will Be Responsible For...

• Build highly performant, multithreaded systems that scale across CPU and GPU.
• Design memory-efficient data pipelines capable of supporting large-scale procedural environments and densely populated simulation scenes.
• Work with our Senior Architect to implement core engine systems for real-time simulation, rendering, and sensor data output.
• Work with the team to design profiling and debugging tools to monitor engine health, frame timing, memory usage, and system latency.
• Optimize GPU compute workloads to ensure high throughput for both graphical rendering and sensor-specific data generation.
• Develop tooling and metrics pipelines to continuously monitor and improve system bottlenecks.
• Collaborate closely with simulation, graphics, and infrastructure teams to ensure platform performance meets the demands of parallelized, distributed workloads.
• Your work will be central to enabling high-volume, high-fidelity synthetic data generation, powering cutting-edge autonomy and machine perception systems in production and research environments.

Qualifications...

• 5–8+ years of experience in graphics or engine development, preferably within real-time or simulation-focused environments.
• Deep proficiency in C++ and Game Engine Development.
• Strong background in: Multithreaded engine architecture, Performance profiling (CPU/GPU, frame timing, load balancing), GPU compute and pipeline optimization, Shader development (e.g., HLSL, GLSL), Low-level memory management
• Familiarity with real-time 3D math, spatial data structures, and camera/sensor modeling.
• Experience driving technical projects from architecture through to deployment, with strong collaboration across cross-functional teams.
• Shipped a AAA photorealistic game, with involvement in performance-critical systems.
• Worked with Unreal Engine 4.x or newer, or another modern high-performance game engine.
• Hands-on experience working directly with the core engine codebase, not just using the editor or scripting layer. e.g., modifying rendering systems, memory allocators, or runtime infrastructure.

Bonus Points...

• Experience with simulation systems for autonomous vehicles, robotics, or related domains
• Familiarity with sensor simulation technologies such as LiDAR, Radar, depth, and realistic simulation of a broad range of cameras with varying levels of quality and their image signal processing capabilities.
• Prior work on deterministic simulation, fixed update loops, or real-time physics systems.
• Experience scaling and optimizing engines for cloud or distributed compute environments
• Knowledge of large-scale procedural content generation and streaming world systems
• Exposure to AI/ML-based content and rendering methods such as NeRFs and Gaussian Splatting
• Experience collaborating with technical artists, 3D artists, and product designers
• Led roadmap planning, authored technical design documentation, and defined engineering milestones

What Success Looks Like

• You’ve profiled and begun optimizing key engine subsystems for performance and efficiency
• You've owned and delivered core components within the rendering infrastructure that enable larger and more performant scenes, helped guide best practices for data authoring and packaging, and become the teams go-to for performance vs quality tradeoffs in the pipeline.
