A Graphics Software Engineer specializing in rendering focuses on developing and optimizing algorithms that generate high-quality visual output in real-time or offline rendering applications. They work with graphics APIs like DirectX, Vulkan, or OpenGL and often implement techniques such as ray tracing, shading, and texture mapping. These engineers collaborate with game developers, simulation teams, or visualization specialists to enhance performance and visual fidelity. Their role involves writing efficient GPU and CPU code to maximize rendering speed while maintaining realistic or stylized graphics.

What are the typical daily challenges faced by a graphics software engineer rendering?

Graphics Software Engineer Rendering professionals often tackle challenges such as optimizing rendering pipelines for performance, debugging complex graphical glitches, and ensuring visual fidelity across a wide range of hardware. Daily tasks may involve profiling GPU usage, collaborating with artists to integrate new features, and keeping up with the latest advancements in rendering technology. The role is both technical and creative, requiring a balance between efficient code and meeting the artistic vision of a project. Facing and overcoming these challenges leads to robust, visually impressive applications and games that perform well for end users.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the graphics software engineer rendering position, and why are they important?

Success as a Graphics Software Engineer Rendering requires expertise in C++ programming, a robust understanding of computer graphics principles, and experience with real-time rendering pipelines and shading languages such as GLSL or HLSL.

Job description

#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content... you in?
We've got the brands, we've got the stars, we've got thepowerto achieve our mission to entertain the planet - now all we're missing is... YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter - both for our audiences and our employees - and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.
Senior Software Engineer, Smart TV/CTV
Location: New York / Los Angeles / San Francisco / Ft. Lauderdale
Overview
You'll build and ship Paramount's Smart TV applications across Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and other CTV
platforms. These apps run on web-based runtimes with tight memory budgets, limited CPU, and hardware thatvaries by model year and price point. You'll write React and TypeScript that performs within those constraints.
You'll own features from concept through certification. You'll work with central video engineering, external
platform partners, and Product/Design to deliver what millions of viewers see on the biggest screen in the
house.
Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain application components for Paramount's Smart TV apps using React and
    TypeScript
  • Optimize application performance on resource-constrained CTV devices. Profile rendering, measure
    memory, fix what's slow
  • Collaborate with central video engineering teams to integrate and optimize video players across platforms
  • Work with external platform partners (Samsung, LG, and others) to develop, debug, and certify
    applications
  • Manage application state with Redux and RTK. Keep the store clean and selectors fast as the app grows
  • Write clean, tested code and participate in code reviews. Hold your teammates to the same standard
  • Coordinate with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to turn requirements into working features
  • Work across multiple agile teams and contribute to all phases of the development cycle
  • Improve CI/CD pipelines and testing infrastructure for multi-platform Smart TV deployments
  • Document components, platform-specific patterns, and technical decisions
  • Use AI development tools to move faster and share what works with the team

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years writing software
  • 2+ years building Smart TV or CTV applications on web-based platforms (Tizen, webOS, or similar)
  • BS in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience
  • React and TypeScript. You build components, not just consume them
  • State management with Redux and RTK. You understand store shape, middleware, and when selectors
    cause unnecessary re-renders
  • Client-side routing patterns (React Router or equivalent)
  • Front-end fundamentals: HTML, CSS, modern JavaScript. You can debug layout and rendering issues on
    a TV runtime
  • You've taken features from concept through delivery on CTV platforms, including certification
  • CI/CD environments with DevOps and SRE principles
  • RESTful API integration and data handling
  • You communicate technical decisions in writing and in conversation. People act on what you say because
    it's clear
  • You use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) to write and ship code faster

Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with multiple CTV platforms (Tizen, webOS, Vizio, Xbox, PlayStation, or others)
  • Performance optimization on TV devices: profiling, memory measurement, rendering analysis. You know
    how to find the bottleneck, not just guess
  • Browser internals knowledge: rendering pipelines, compositing, layout thrashing, and how these behave
    on TV runtimes vs. desktop browsers
  • Video player integration experience (Shaka, hls.js, or native platform players)
  • Observability tools: Conviva, New Relic, Datadog, Sentry, or similar
  • Experience working in Agile frameworks across distributed teams and time zones
  • Rapid proof-of-concept experience. You've built throwaway prototypes to answer hard questions fast
  • Enthusiasm for sharing AI tools and workflows that save the team time
  • You care about UX on the 10-foot screen and you'll push back when something isn't right
  • You say "I don't know" when you don't know

What Good Looks Like
  • You open a Smart TV codebase you've never seen, connect a Tizen emulator, and start diagnosing a
    rendering issue the same afternoon
  • Other engineers read your code and understand it without a walkthrough
  • You spot a memory leak on a 2020-era LG TV before QA files a ticket. You fix it and write up what
    happened
  • When a certification submission fails, you read the rejection, fix the issue, and flag what the team should
    check next time
  • You own your features end to end. From scoping through deployment, you don't wait for someone to tell
    you what's next
  • You know which React patterns cause jank on low-end CTV hardware. You avoid them and explain why to
    teammates who ask
  • You push back when a plan has gaps. You suggest a better approach
  • You treat the build pipeline, test coverage, and error monitoring like product features
  • You help your teammates get better. Through code reviews, pairing, or writing things down so the next
    person doesn't hit the same wall
