Job Description

• Collaborate with game designers, artists, and engineers to translate visual concepts into optimized, in-engine assets. • Import, configure, and maintain 2D/3D assets, materials, and shaders within Unity3D for mobile and WebGL builds. • Profile and optimize assets, textures, lighting, and rendering pipelines to maintain high frame rates and minimal memory footprint. • Build and maintain Unity editor tools, import scripts, or asset validation pipelines to streamline workflows. • Create and optimize shaders, particle systems, and post-processing effects to enhance visual fidelity. • Ensure asset compatibility and consistent visual quality across iOS, Android, and WebGL platforms.

Job Requirements

Strong experience with **Unity3D** (URP or HDRP) - asset pipelines, materials, lighting, and scene optimization.
Proficiency in **C# scripting** for editor tooling, automation, or runtime integrations.
Experience working with **3D modeling tools** (Maya, Blender, 3ds Max) and **2D software** (Photoshop, Substance Painter).
Familiarity with **shader authoring** (Shader Graph, HLSL, Amplify Shader Editor, or similar).
Deep understanding of **rendering performance optimization** across mobile and WebGL targets.
Experience with **cross-platform deployment** (iOS, Android, WebGL).
Knowledge of **asset compression, texture atlases, and memory management** techniques.
Comfort working with **source control systems** (Git, Perforce) and CI/CD pipelines for Unity projects.
Basic familiarity with **backend interactions** - REST APIs, network calls, and event-driven systems (Go + AWS stack).
Understanding of **profiling tools** (Unity Profiler, Xcode Instruments, Android GPU Inspector).

Benefits

The opportunity to define the **visual-technical DNA** of our new gaming app and contribute to our game development tooling from the ground up.
Close collaboration with a seasoned engineering and design team experienced in top-tier games and platforms.
Ownership and creative freedom within a supportive, technically strong environment.
Competitive compensation, flexible work arrangements, and a chance to help shape the future of social, real-time gaming.
