• Ability to profile, analyse, and optimise performance across CPU, GPU, memory, and architecture in real-time applications.
• Track record of shipping real-time interactive applications or games, including a solid understanding of software development lifecycles and ownership of end-to-end development tasks.
• Ability to investigate and resolve complex technical issues in existing codebases and projects, both remotely and on-site.
