Build and support game-focused rendering features that align with established visual specs and gameplay needs

Iterate on visual tech to ensure consistency, stability, and solid performance across both lower-spec and higher-spec hardware

Cross-Platform Experience: Familiarity with target platform constraints and performance profiling/debugging techniques

Nice-to-Haves:

Experience shipping a game through full production cycles on console, PC, or mobile

Unreal Engine 5 experience: Practical background working with or adapting UE5’s rendering pipeline, visual systems, or shaders

Experience contributing to custom game engines or existing multi-platform rendering pipelines

Familiarity with standard rendering techniques (e.g., PBR, post-processing, compute shaders)

Experience with multi-threading and GPU profiling tools (PIX, RenderDoc, Nsight)

And here is why we think you'll love working at SkyBox:

Annual bonus and up to 3% RRSP matching available

Comprehensive health benefits, along with a supportive Maternity and Parental Leave policy

Flexible hybrid working arrangements: leverage our beautiful studio spaces as needed and have the ability to work from home on certain projects

We relentlessly support your growth and development! Level up your C++ skills at SkyBox University, explore other disciplines through our Guild Program, and expand your game dev knowledge with Lunch & Learns. You’ll join a culture of empowerment, collaboration, and personal growth.

Social events! Have fun with the team at trivia nights, karaoke nights, movie nights, and various group activities. Join our soccer team, game jams, or a board game sesh after work. You name it, we’ve got it!
