  • Strong proficiency in shader development (HLSL/GLSL) to optimize visual quality while adhering to strict realtime performance objectives.
  • Proactive in preempting and addressing performance limitations on target devices.
  • Proficient in using performance tools within the engine and on devices to identify performance bottlenecks.
  • Proficient working with version control for all work (Perforce, git or other), including work in progress.
  • Experience writing and editing clear technical documentation.
  • Strong proficiency in creating and optimising through the development of shaders, with a deep understanding of HLSL or GLSL.
  • Capable of planning, designing and implementing solutions to a broad range of technical art problems.
