We already serve notable clients such as Google, Netflix, Robinhood, and Facebook, and we need help serving the increased demand.

  • Manage post-processing optimization

What makes you a good fit:

  • 2+ years of experience involving 3D art or game design or AR/VR or similar 

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

  • Ability to work remotely, manage time effectively, and thrive in a fast-paced startup culture

  • Experience with optimization (ideally AR/VR)

  • Experience with creating, working with and optimizing shaders

  • Ability to quickly prototype custom animations (e.g. Menu button interactions)

  • Experience with unreal engine

  • Experience working with startups

  • Ability to do optimization for mobile devices
