We are looking for a Rendering Engineer with experience in developing high-quality, high-performance software: in games or otherwise.
This role will suit someone who is keen to take the next step forward in their career and in interactive tech. We are working on core immersive technology that spans the full range of XR, and this is an opportunity to help shape the future of spatial computing.
Simul is an established leader in real-time graphics middleware; the company’s customers include Bandai Namco, Microsoft Game Studios, Sony, and Ubisoft. In 2020, Simul won the TIGA 2020 Best Technical Innovation Award for our work on trueSKY, the leading real-time weather SDK. We have a culture of agile development focused on quality, performance and precision. We believe in equal opportunity and a diverse, inclusive and supportive workplace.
You will be:
- Researching and developing new immersive technologies,
- Working in an agile team,
- Finding and fixing bugs and performance issues,
- Profiling and optimizing CPU, GPU and network code,
- Representing Simul at technical and non-technical events, in-person and online.
The benefits Simul offers are:
- Flexible remote working,
- Regular salary reviews and career progression,
- 22 days holiday + bank holidays,
- Dedicated self-development time.
