Job Description

• Partner closely with other teams (Rendering, Avatar, Studio) and external developers so that the features you build are directly usable to create amazing experiences.

• Profile and improve the performance of our game engine across a wide range of devices, with particular attention to mobile.

• Lead by example: drive projects end-to-end, mentor other engineers, and help set a high bar for technical quality and code health on the team.
