Senior Engineer, Graphics - Unannounced Project

We are looking for a Senior Graphics Engineer in Ireland, UK, Spain, or Portugal in a hybrid or remote basis. We can support with visa sponsorship from any location.   

We are looking for strong rendering expertise and a passion for delivering high-quality, high-performance visuals. You will work on real-time rendering features and optimizations that help our game look and run its best across a wide range of devices. 

We are in the early stages of development on an ambitious, unannounced, cross-platform Strategy/MMO title, creating a team of talented and passionate game makers to join us on this exciting journey!

At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play, every day — whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing, and innovating the mobile games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily.

What You Will Do

• Develop and optimize real-time rendering features on mobile platforms using Vulkan (Android) and Metal (iOS).

• Work with clustered/meshlet-based geometry systems, implementing GPU-driven visibility, culling, and LOD.

• Integrate and refine modern rendering techniques such as clustered/tiled lighting, temporal anti-aliasing (TAA), and super-resolution (TSR).

• Assist in the development of real-time global illumination features in collaboration with senior technical staff, ensuring scalability across different device tiers.

• Write and optimize shaders (HLSL/GLSL/MSL) for power-efficient mobile performance.

• Profile GPU/CPU performance and analyze rendering bottlenecks using tools like RenderDoc, Perfetto, Xcode GPU Debugger, and Mali/Snapdragon profilers.

• Contribute to GPU memory layout design, draw submission strategies, and render pass optimizations for tile-based GPUs.

• Collaborate closely with engine and content teams to ensure visuals meet quality and performance goals across platforms.

• Stay informed on industry rendering trends and suggest improvements to our pipeline.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of graphics programming experience, with a focus on mobile platforms.

• Strong C++ skills with experience working in performance-critical rendering code.

• Solid knowledge of Vulkan and/or Metal APIs.

• Experience with Unity’s Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP), including extending or customizing SRPs.

• Understanding of mobile GPU architecture (tiling, bandwidth, power constraints).

• Proficiency in GPU performance profiling and optimization workflows.

• Familiarity with compute-based rendering techniques, GPU-driven pipelines, and modern culling/visibility approaches.

Bonus Points

• Experience with UE5’s Nanite/Lumen or equivalent advanced rendering solutions.

• Background in custom engine development or low-level rendering systems.

• Contributions to open-source graphics tools or technical publications.

• Cross-platform rendering experience beyond mobile (PC/console).
