Senior Graphics Engineer (WebGPU)

In this role you will take a hands-on role in the implementation, architecture, and optimization of their WebGPU initiatives. This includes driving the technical direction of WebGPU integration for performance-critical applications, with a heavy emphasis on lightweight and mini-game runtime environments., * WebGPU Implementation & Optimization: Lead the development and optimization of high-performance rendering pipelines utilizing WebGPU, specifically targeted at lightweight mini-game engines and web-based platforms.

• Applied R&D & PoCs: Propose, architect, and deliver robust Proof-of-Concept (PoC) software implementations that address real-world graphics bottlenecks and push real-time rendering capabilities.
• Pipeline Performance Analysis: Conduct deep-dive profiling, debugging, and optimization across real-time rendering pipelines to maximize performance on constraint-heavy platforms.
• Research to Industry Translation: Monitor cutting-edge research from top graphics conferences (e.g., SIGGRAPH, Eurographics), translating academic state-of-the-art into practical, production-ready graphics features.
• Technical Communication: Present complex research findings and architecture proposals clearly to cross-functional engineering teams, stakeholders, and external research partners.
• Industry Engagement: Participate in technical conferences, scientific exhibitions, and collaborative meetings with internal research units as required.

• Education: BSc in Computer Graphics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Core Systems Programming: Excellent C++ development skills with 5+ years of dedicated hands-on experience in real-time rendering or game engine development.
• Low-Level Graphics APIs: Demonstrated expertise with Vulkan and low-level rendering concepts.
• Game Engine Expertise: Experience working on or developing custom game engine sub-systems (practical experience with Unity engine internals/native plugins is highly preferred).
• Multi-Language R&D Stack: Proficiency across graphics and scripting languages relevant to WebGPU ecosystems (C++, C#, JavaScript, GLSL, and WGSL).
• Problem-Solving & Specs: Ability to translate abstract graphics specs into clean, robust, and deployable code under project timelines.

Desirable Experience:

• Advanced Degree: MSc in Computer Graphics, Computer Science, or equivalent high-level industry experience.
• WebGPU Track Record: Direct experience developing or experimenting with WebGPU native implementations or web runtimes.
• Cross-Platform Gaming: Hands-on experience developing 3D graphics/games targeted at mobile, web, and desktop runtimes simultaneously.
• Recognized Excellence: Awards or top placements in competitive programming, graphics hackathons, or open-source graphics contributions.
