Foundry are looking for a seasoned software engineer specialising in Real-Time Rendering to join our existing team of rendering experts working on rendering technologies across our portfolio. We’re looking for a self-motivated developer with strong C++ and GPU graphics programming skills. Experience in software development lifecycle and knowledge of software engineering best practices are also required. As a Principal Software Engineer, you will help to ensure the quality, scalability, and extensibility of the code that we’re writing.
