Deliverables / purpose

You’ll help deliver new capability across a Hybrid Render Engine, with a focus on real-time rendering features, shader development, and performance improvements that hold up under production conditions. A key part of the contract is moving legacy OpenGL components onto modern rendering backends (Vulkan/DX12), while also building practical tooling and operational UIs that support live workflows (camera feeds, video pipelines, spatial data).


The skills and experience we need you to bring

• 5+ years’ commercial experience with modern C++ (C++14/17/20)
• Strong experience with at least one major graphics API: Vulkan, DirectX 12 and/or OpenGL
• Shader programming (GLSL/HLSL or equivalent)
• Strong 3D maths foundations, geometry, transforms and rendering pipelines
• Confidence working in performance-critical / real-time systems
• Experience with UIs in applications (ImGui, Qt, wxWidgets, or similar)
• Clear communication and a practical approach to problem-solving
• Nice to have: custom engines/toolchains, video processing, calibrated camera workflows, GPU/CPU workload optimisation, interest in sports graphics/real-time storytelling.

Contractor Benefits:

• Wellbeing Discovery Sessions
• Welcome Packs
• Hnry discount
• Exclusive Invites
