  • Raytracing systems
  • TLAS (acceleration structure) performance and management
• Ensure platform stability and memory management, including:
  • Address Xbox Series S memory constraints
  • Investigate and resolve VRAM spikes on PC for a stable memory footprint
• Identify and fix micro-level bottlenecks.
• Implement new systems using compute shaders to offload work and improve frame rates.
• Collaborate closely with Art and Engine/Platform teams; act as a senior mentor/technical lead for graphics-heavy features.

Profile / Requirements

• Advanced GPU debugging:
  • Experience with GPU crash debugging and post-mortem analysis
• Compute & async mastery:
  • Deep knowledge of compute shader optimization
  • Optimal utilization of Async/Compute queues
• Memory & streaming:
  • Strong memory monitoring
  • Ability to resolve VRAM spikes
  • Optimize under streaming pressure
• Platform deep-dive:
  • In-depth understanding of platform-specific hardware architectures
  • Low-level rendering APIs expertise
• Raytracing expertise:
  • Comprehensive understanding of raytracing systems and acceleration structure management

Nice to Have

• Unreal Engine internals (C++): intimate knowledge of UE’s internal rendering core systems

Work Location / Policy
