Game Rendering Engineer – Senior – Full Time (can be remote)

Background

After our recent successful launch on Oculus Quest, we’re looking to grow the team! We need a passionate Senior Game Rendering Engineer to help us develop new rendering tech, improve the visuals of the game on all platforms, optimize the game and expand it  into the future!

Team/Company

Alta is a Sydney-based Virtual Reality start-up. Since 2016 we have worked on the multiplayer game A Township Tale and have grown from the 3 founding members to over a dozen passionate developers. At Alta, each team member wears multiple hats and is committed to our overall mission in developing a ground-breaking VR experience for players worldwide.

We are now fully remote and have several team members in different time zones. We are a very tight knit team and finding a great team fit is just as important to us and finding the right skillset.

The role

As a Senior Game Rendering Engineer, you will be evaluating our rendering pipeline and asset setup to improve our rendering performance, whilst also helping our feature teams to create stunning and performant graphics. You will be working with the Lead Engineer to make very high-level decisions on the future of the game and structure of development. You will also take the lead on researching and implementing new features on the rendering pipeline. For this you will need to deep dive into how our current systems work and operate, at the same time you will need to communicate directly with the rest of the team, leveraging their knowledge to achieve results. Ideally you are someone that enjoys and understands the ways video games connect us and can put that knowledge to use in making meaningful changes to the product.
