Overview

Realtime Graphics Developer
This is a 12-month, full-time (40 hours/week), remote contract role. Candidates must be local to Culver City, Cupertino, or New York City and able to work PST hours.

• Design, prototype, and implement real-time visual effects and rendering solutions.
• Partner with creative directors, designers, producers, and engineers to translate visual direction into highly performant Metal-based rendering systems.
• Develop shaders, tools, and pipelines to support both technical and non-technical collaborators.
• Support ongoing content development processes, maintain rendering tools, refine look-dev workflows, and contribute to the overall success of the team and projects.

The ideal candidate has 7–10 years of experience in real-time graphics and rendering, a passion for real-time visual effects, and a strong foundation in modern rendering pipelines. They are proficient in shader languages such as Metal Shading Language (MSL), OpenGL, GLSL, HLSL, or Vulkan, with strong technical and visual capabilities. They understand ray tracing, ray marching, volumetric rendering, and real-time lighting models.

They are skilled in building shaders, pipelines, and tools for non-engineering collaborators and thrive when working with designers, producers, and cross-functional teams. They can work independently on multiple projects, adapt to shifting priorities, and communicate clearly with exceptional attention to detail. Experience with Touch Designer, Houdini, or Reality Composer Pro is a plus.

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, graphics, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience is preferred.
• Candidates should have a background in graphics programming, rendering, game engines, or real-time VFX.
• Preferred experience includes Core Animation, Core Graphics, Scene Kit, USD, Objective-C, C++, Swift, or building end-to-end apps on Apple platforms.
