$20 - $60/hourpay
Role Title: Game Tools & Modding Engineer
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
We are looking for a Game Tools & Modding Engineer with strong expertise in graphics programming, rendering systems, and engine-level development to build high-performance, real-time applications. This role focuses on developing graphics systems, rendering pipelines, engine tools, and low-level optimizations using modern graphics APIs such as DirectX (DX11/DX12), Vulkan, OpenGL, or Metal.
If you have a strong background in game development, graphics programming, and engine architecture, and enjoy working close to the engine rather than gameplay logic, this opportunity is for you.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
Engine & Tools Development
  • Design, develop, and maintain engine-level systems and game development tools using C++.
  • Build and enhance game modding tools, editor extensions, and development pipelines.
  • Extend engine capabilities to improve workflows for developers, artists, and designers.
Graphics & Rendering
  • Develop and optimize rendering pipelines, shaders, and real-time graphics systems.
  • Implement graphics features using DirectX (DX11/DX12), Vulkan, OpenGL, Metal, or equivalent graphics APIs.
  • Work with HLSL/GLSL shaders and modern rendering techniques.
Performance Optimization
  • Optimize rendering performance across CPU, GPU, memory, and multithreaded workloads.
  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks affecting graphics performance and engine efficiency.
  • Debug complex rendering, graphics, and cross-platform compatibility issues.
Collaboration & Code Quality
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, technical artists, designers, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented C++ code following engineering best practices.
  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • 3-6 years of experience in game development, graphics programming, or real-time rendering.
  • Strong proficiency in C++.
  • Hands-on experience with one or more graphics APIs:
    • DirectX 11/12
    • Vulkan
    • OpenGL
    • Metal
  • Solid understanding of:
    • Rendering pipelines
    • Shader programming (HLSL/GLSL)
    • 3D mathematics
    • Real-time graphics concepts
  • Experience with Unreal Engine or a similar game engine.
  • Knowledge of performance optimization techniques across CPU, GPU, memory, and multithreading.
  • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a distributed or remote team environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with engine customization and low-level systems programming.
  • Familiarity with graphics profiling and debugging tools such as RenderDoc, PIX, Nsight, or similar.
  • Experience developing cross-platform applications or working within performance-constrained environments.
  • Exposure to game development tooling, editor extensions, asset pipelines, or automation.
  • Background in multiplayer systems or large-scale game architectures.
Must-Have Skills
  • C++
  • Game Development
  • Graphics Programming
  • DirectX / Vulkan / OpenGL
  • Rendering Pipeline
Good-to-Have Skills
  • Unreal Engine
  • Shader Programming (HLSL/GLSL)
